Come on folks. This stuff is cheap compared to maintenance. A 1 minute
web search finds Noalox at Home Depot stores for $8.95 for an 8oz.
bottle. Penetrox is about the same price but not sold by Home Depot.

Sorry ... whine wasn't about the price... it was about advert's with out any
prices.
They want our business but too lazy or dumb to post prices with the ad's
Big radio stores included check most of the ad's in your handy QST and
you can see that they make YOU work to find prices. Maybe Wal-Mart
will get into radios , then the price competition can start LOL

My apologies to those who know all and have deep pockets.

If you don't like the postings.... well if your that smart I don't need to
finish.

Thanks 73 K4TWO Gary

I must have mis-understood your whine but my comment was not directed to
ward anyone. From my point of view, unless I enjoy talking about
connections that are unreliable (I don't), the price of Penetrox or
Noalox is really cheap compared to having to disassemble connections and
clean them.

Not to mention, that Home Depot (and Lowes), have even smaller bottles ,
4 oz,$6.00 , and think even 2 oz tubes, for even less! And a little
goes a long way! Jim NN7K

Well for those of us who don't get around so well, it was nice to have a
product name to ask for.
Home Depot had an even smaller tube 1/2 oz and I got some steel wool to
buff things up first.
both less than $6. I probably would have been an hour finding that tiny
tube hanging in the store.
With more days behind me now than ahead.... and hoping my next antennas
will be new ones. It should last me till my end. Kinda like buying a tube
of water pipe compound
once you use it once the rest hangs around forever. LOL
Thanks for brand name to ask for. Saved lots of steps I can't spare these
days.

There are a lot of us with that condition!
Time and physical demands have become important considerations on
projects. And the increasing memory problems that make it harder than
ever to find where I put things...
