DO NOT USE MOTOR OIL. DO NOT USE TRANSFORMER OIL.

Use MINERAL OIL ONLY. It is fine for 'normal' Amateur radio powerlevels.
However it WILL cook a bit at 1300 watts if you keep it up a while.

You can get it at a standard drug store.

I got a Heathkit Cantenna recently, sans oil.

Where do I find transformer oil? The few industrial suppliers in my
area (Monterey, CA) want to sell me drums of the stuff. I only need
a gallon...

Is motor oil OK to use?
