[TowerTalk] which type of locktite

[Orcena Lyle]

Red sez it will never come loose but actually, it isn't that hard to get things loose after being fixed with red, according to an auto mechanic in my radio club.  Blue wouldn't even hold the elements tight on a little handheld foxhunt 2m antenna that I used it on.

  I can't remember the 'color' of the locktite recommended to be used on tower and antenna 
  bolts.


  Super Strength is Red. (Never to be used as you will NEVER get them loose again)
  I know Medium Strength is Blue.
  Light Strength is ?????

  I can't remember if its' ???? or Blue that is the recommended level of Lactate for 
  antenna/tower/rotor bolts....

  I get a lot of gusty winds and usually have to tighten up twice a year during maintenance.
