Ray,
OX-Gard.  It is an anti oxidant in a grease.  It is also conductive.  I have 
used it on all of my antenna joints, some coax connections, even in wire nut 
connections.  Keep in mind the adage "a little goes a long way" and keep it 
from having a way to cross a PL 259 and short it out.  You can find it at 
Home Depot in the electrical department.  This is the brand I happen to use 
but any conductive anti oxidant would work.  Some do have copper dust in them 
to aid in the conductivity and that can and will wear out a connection that 
is screwed and unscrewed fairly often.
Take Care, 73
