I am in the middle of a antenna refurbishing project. On every antenna I
put together 25 years ago, I used Penterox A. a zinc based anti-seize. I've
found every mating AL-Al joint was like the day I put them together with no
seizing and no cloudy power residue. There was still some zinc remaining on
the joint but that is what its for.

The big guns who own big stations are now going to Jet-Lube SS-30 which is
a copper anti-seize like Butter-Its-Not was. I bought a can and will be
using this when I put things back together.

I believe in sharing the road with other drivers.  They can
have the part behind me.
