Guys, the last time I checked, this was not rec.car.battery. We're talking
about antennas and RF, not DC connections to your car battery. Using grease,
even outside the made connection, will eventually penetrate the spaces.
Maybe this doesn't matter to the 50-100w user, but it matters to high power
connections, the most notable of which is lightning.

Here in the UK I'll think you'll find the lightning conductors have
greased joints.

I always thought it was the origin of the term 'greased lightning'....
