Hi Gang:
Gee, I love it when you guys talk technical...i.e. antenna "gunk".
However, I asked for antenna gunk and received large tube of Burndy
Corp.'s Norwalk, Conn(CT) "PENTROX A" for use with all electrical
connections, both aluminum and copper surfaces, wires and cables!
Any large electrical outlet house/distributor/vendor stocks it. And 10-oz
fluid ounce tube can last you a long, long time.
The large tubes are much cheaper that those small packets.
Economical is better. I store mine in a refrig with my batteries. It slows
the chemical action in both.
