Hi,
 
Close to putting up a new beam which replaces a 20 year old A-3S.
Looking at all the various bolts and nuts needed to ensure constant
"flow" of HF between the matching unit, elements and tuning element
there is a fair amount of chances to get corrosion/oxidation in there
over time.
 
Has anybody ever experienced coating all those critical points with e.g.
some form of paint or other medium to avoid corrosion etc.? On my A-3S
always cranked the tower down every few years or so and cleaned all up
but kind of getting tired of it.
 
Looking forward hearing some words of advice.
