Hi Kelly.  A friend of mine in who worked for the fone company told me to 
use Vasoline.  I have been using that for quite a few years now.  You can 
put some on an antenna connection, and in a year or two, wipe it off and 
the connections are as good as new.  A lot less messy than some of the 
products that are used for that.  Just a wipe with a rag, and it's gone.
