[TowerTalk] Al-to-Al

[john at kk9a.com]

For many years in Illinois I used nothing and never had an issue.  When I
bought a home in Aruba and saw what corrosion was really like I started
using Penetrox. I had no element corrosion connection issues and when I took
the antennas apart years later the tubing easily separated. There was still
bad element aluminum corrosion caused by the stainless steel hose clamps
however that is a different issue. Now I use Penetrox on all permanent
antennas, regardless of location.

When assembling Al -to-Al junctions in an Antenna, what anti-corrosion
compound 
should be used at the joints?
