How close to the ocean are you? It sounds like you are right in the spray!

About a half mile. I live in the northern California "Mendocino"
coast. We have a lot of rain too and that combination is a killer for
aluminum exposed to the elements.

Has anyone done any testing (RF resistance) on squirting some NOALOX
compound (or other anti-corrosion sealants) between the aluminum
elements and scrubbing them clean to remove the oxide film before
bolting them together? Should help a lot, especially along the coast.

Works great on AL power wire at 60Hz...
