How do  people tackle this problem (and it would include Yagi constructors)
of  making low loss contacts at each section where an aluminium tube is
fitted  into the previous section.
 
For Yagis it's easy.  I put a small nr 6 stainless screw at each joint  .  
Before I insert the screw into the hole I put a dab of NoAlox into the  hole and 
then on the screw.  I cover the screw with a few wraps of  tape.  When you 
take the tape off years later the joint is still  clean.
