[Antennas] NO OX?

[Bob Nielsen]

You are probably thinking of Noalox.  It is quite good for that  
application.  I couldn't find it locally, but have used Ox-Gard,  
which is quite similar.  I have seen Ox-Gard at both Home Depot and  
Ace Hardware stores.  I haven't tried to disassemble my vertical, but  
it has been holding up well for 8 years.  Silicone grease might be a  
better choice for coax (Cushcraft supplies a small amount with their  
antennas which use aluminum UHF connectors).  If you use a conductive  
compound on connectors, be careful to only apply a very small amount  
on the threaded portion.
