[TowerTalk] Taper element sections

[Dubovsky, George]

Yes, it is good practice. A thin layer is all that is required; just about as little as you can smear on. I use the stuff sold at Lowes and other electrical distributors for bolted aluminum connections. I think it's called Noalox, and you can get a lifetime supply for a few bucks.

Yes, I am a newbie! When assembling a yagi, is it customary (or correct) to
apply Penetrox A to tapered element joints? Or does it really matter?

 

Thanks.
