All,
What's the best way to protect electrical connections from corrosion? I have
new antennas going up and would like keep the balun connections corrosion
free as long as possible.
Since there are two different metals involved with the driven element /
balun connection (stailess nuts, bolts and aluminum elements) is Penetrox
the best thing to use? I was thinking of Penetrox and then a liquid tape or
Scotchkote on the balun connections.
I was also thinking about coating the balun housing and balun wire with
something to keep UV from taking it's toll?
On the element joints -- is it best to use Noalox or Penetrox? It seems both
would keep connections corrosion free and do the same job with conductivity.
Is there a difference?
Has anyone taken apart Yagi elements after 5 or 10 years and noticed if the
Noalox or Penetrox stopped corrosion from forming?
Thanks,
Tony KT2Q
