[TowerTalk] Penetrox/Noalox vs. Anti-seize compound

>    His reasoning was that enough bare  aluminum-to-aluminum surface area 
would remain that the use of the Permatex was  very unlikely to negatively 
effect antenna performance.  Anyone have an  opinion on this?  Should I re-do 
the joints in question while the antenna  is still on the ground?  Or would 
this be a needless exercise at this  point?
 
    I wouldn't re-do the joints - too danged much work.  What I would do is 
to bond the elements mechanically and electrically  with either pop rivets 
or TEK screws. Like my old buddy AA6DX says,   "Worky, worky!"
