I have in my eBay wish list a tub of conductive grease for antenna
connections.

I've never quite gotten around to buying it. :-)

Does it do any good?

Supposedly you use it like the antioxidant grease for aluminum power
wiring, except this is for antenna connectors. It gets in the threads
and resists water.

Don't bother. It the world's worst dust collector! Then it's really hard
to get the combination off when you take the joint apart.
