Many thanks to all who replied to my original query on conductive
anti-oxidant copper based "Goo". This group is a tremendous help. I think
this # 601 is the same I601 stuff Bob N3DOK mentioned that is advertised on
http://www.radio-ware.com/. And the SS-30 stuff N3RR mentioned sounds as if
it would do the job also. I'm inclined to go along with Steve K7LXC with
his mention that any of the Al-Cu or Cu-Cu materials would work, when he
points out : " It doesn't really matter what the material of the
particulates is -
they're held in suspension and NOT subject to oxidation since the vehicle
material keeps the oxygen out."
both materials are conductive (which is what we want) and also
anti-oxidants. I ordered the Cu-Cu stuff from radio-ware.com.
