I understand that the telescoping Al-tubing pieces of a Force 12 
antenna are riveted together.  Do the instructions for assembling a 
Force 12 antenna include applying some kind of oxidation-inhibiting 
or electrical-connection-enhancing goo to the surfaces of the tubing 
prior to riveting?  If not, should they?
