[TowerTalk] Lube for AlfaSpid RAK-1?

[Jim Miller]

My RAK-1 refused to budge this winter when temps dropped below zero
Fahrenheit. It began working one the temps warmed to above 20F. Since it
was always below freezing when working I don't think it was icing.

I think the grease used for lube just got too thick for it to work.

What would be a more suitable grease to prevent this?

I could also put some sort of heater on it as a last resort but that seems
a bit much.

QTH is Parkton, Maryland, due north of Baltimore and just south of PA so
this is a infrequent but annoying occurrence especially during a contest.

TIA
