Never, ever use "Grease" (or any other lubricant/protectant) in an
electrical connection for RF. Grease is a dialectric (so is silicone) and it
will ensure you have practically no electrical connection at all.

Not if you make the electrical connection first, and then coat with
grease.

You wouldn't paint the radials ends and then make the joint.

OTOH, perhaps you would.

PS: Paint can be a dielectric too......
