[Mobile-Portable] Winter Time Mobile Antenna Cleaning Time

Tue Oct 21 20:46:42 EDT 2014

Wish I knew about that stuff for my crap mobile phone. I usually can't take 
 a picture and often enough can't get on the web. Intermittent SD slot and 
other  places need to be reseated so often, it's debilitating. New one next 
month  anyway.

This email thread reminds me of a product  a mech engr gave me years ago. I
just looked it up on the web. Cannot find  the exact product but the mfr is
CAIG, and theold product was called  ProGold. I have a tiny (7.4mL) sample
bottle of it. I used it for the cable  connection of my IC-706's remote
head that was continually intermittent.  Never failed again! Use it in the
same place on my newer 706 MKII-G and it  has never failed...well ove r10
years between the two units.
--I have  also used it for ther similar contact issues and never had a
wherever I  have used it. MAGIC stuff, I guess.
--I suppose the newer products might  work as well.
--I'm 73 so my little bottle will probably outlast me
--I  dab it on sparingly, wait a few seconds and dab the liquid off (I do
not  rub it off) w/ a clean cloth.

use on the bulb screw EVERY time I install a  replacement.  Not expensive. 
Works great!  One little sealable  container is probably enough to last a
homeowner's lifetime!  Probably  good for automotive work, as well.
