I recall that Cushcraft supplies a small amount of what I think is 
silicon grease, along with a vinyl(?) cover to provide protection for 
the UHF connector.  I don't know how well it works over a long timespan 
(their equivalent of an SO-239 is aluminum, which probably needs more 
protection than a standard fitting).
