Default ANTENNA TUBING ANTI-SIEZE

Hi,

I just got a used Butternut HF6V in great shape for a great price. What
type of anti-sieze do I need to put between the sections of aluminum tubing ???
Is automotive anti-sieze OK ??? I don't think that it is electrically
conductive. Do I need something like electricians use when they connect the
aluminum service entrance cable to the breaker box ??? I think that stuff is
called Penetrox. Is something like that available at Home Depot ???

Default ANTENNA TUBING ANTI-SIEZE

I used GB ox-gard on my HF6V. Got it at Home Depot in a tube. Works great &
it isn't expensive. You will find it in the electrical department.

Couple other names Ideal Noalox (about $5 at home
depot) and , found at a swap meet - Jet-Lube SS-30
copper high temp (cost unknown, got MOST of container
for $ 2.00!) Also, several antenna companies sell
their own versions, relatively CHEAP! Jim

Piggy-backing off this thread, please: When I was an EMI technician some
years ago, we used conductive anti-seize on (most) hardware that was in a
conductive path, such as grounding straps. I was surprised to discover that
some/most anti-seize is non-conductive; you can daub some kinds on the
benchtop and stick ohmmeter probes in it -- nothing happens. I figured with
its metal content, surely it would all be conductive, but not so.

I have no idea what implications this has for the OP's Butternut and would
welcome comments.
