[TowerTalk] Tennadyne Element installation

[john at kk9a.com]

I have used Penetrox on all of my element sections for the last 15 years.
Prior to that I used nothing and occasionally had issues removing the
pieces. If you're in a corrosive environment I would definitely recommend
using it unless something is different about Tennadyne construction compared
to normal yagi elements. I seem to recall Telrex having similar warnings
which is maybe why my early yagis were assembled dry.

I obtained a used Tennadyne Model T8 for my short tower and am getting ready
to put it back together.

The instructions state that I should not use ANTI-OXIDE grease; in bold
letters.  Instead they recommend using WD-40 or graphite.
I've always used it for assembling antenna elements.  Is there any good
reason to not use ANTI-OXIDE inside the element extensions?
