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

[Patrick Greenlee]

I see Permatex being referred to a lot.  Is there a product by Permatex that 
is not a gasket sealing goo? Excuse my ignorance.

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've used Blackburn compound for over thirty years. A nasty, sticky graphite
mixture, it keeps new or cleaned aluminum joints like new after years in
service. When I was just getting into the hobby I salvaged an old TH-4 and
on the recommendation of a couple HAMs who had been at it a few years
drilled and Zip screwed each element piece to make the mechanical -
electrical bond.
