[CQ-Contest] Rohn TB3 Junk

[Doug Renwick]

> To prevent SS from galling always lubricate when tightening or removing.  I use
> WD40 or better yet Liquid Wrench even on my SS gear clamps.  Since I began this
> step my galling problems are gone as will yours.

> I cringe at K7LXC's suggestion of substituting stainless for the TB-3
> bolts.  Anyone who has ever had one of those yucky Ham-M mast clamp u-bolts
> gall up the nut and snap off would probably agree.  Stainless is pretty,
> but some of it is not very strong.  I question whether the stainless would
> work very well in the aluminum (or whatever alloy) of the TB-3 bearing body.
