The problem with noalox / penetrox is..... it dries out eventually....after
just a few years.
W8JI uses  dielectric grease where ele sections join together...and also
boom splices.
He said the only reason to use penetrox / noalox is because they are much
less expensive.
Dunno how long Dielectric grease, like the Penetrox brand, would last.
