[TowerTalk] re:Tailtwister Lubrication

[N4CW@aol.com]

I recall using a white Lithium grease (originally intended for packing wheel 
bearings on boat trailers) with the trade name of "Lubriplate". My only 
concern is how it will harden in very cold weather....maybe that's not 
important....
Wouldn't a good grease have a heavy petroleum base with graphite in 
suspension? It seems to me that whenever I took the Hy-Gain rotators apart, 
the original grease was always this black messy stuff.... A graphite grease 
would probably be less succeptible to hardening in extremely cold weather.
