Good morning, all...

When connecting a copper ground wire to a copper-plated ground rod, is
there a compound of some kind that should be used to inhibit corrosion?

I have asked the man behind the counter at the local electrical supply
store (where I got the ground rods) and he says it's not necessary, but I
have seen references to it here and there on the net including in this NG.

I thought about maybe using some of that Butternut conductive grease that
we use on our antennas.
============================================
When connection is made and dry , I would suggest you cover with
self-amalgamating tape or a putty meant to protect coax connectors ,made
by Universal Electronics Inc - 4555/13 Groves Road , Columbus -Ohio.
The latter comes in length of 60 inches and is 0.5 inch wide.
I bought it many moons ago at a hamfest in the Netherlands.
