I asked the question to make sure something was needed for Al-to-Al and it
seems it is truly is. Long ago, I was told that Al-to-Al was best dry because
galvanic corrosion couldn’t
When I was In CO, I used some stuff called OxGard because it was supplied with
an antenna. It seemed to work well there, but CO is very dry. OxGard has a
petroleum grease containing graphic and zinc particles. After about 10 y in CO,
everything seemed fine and when I took the antennas apart to move to OK, the
grease was still greasy. I used it when I reassembled the antennas here. But, I
always wondered if the stuff was truly necessary.
