How about where the "pig tail" attached to both sides via small bolt do I also use it there? Thanks Bruce WA7CCC |

Yes, Penetrox is one approach to take. Another is to cover the connection with self amalgamating rubber--it may be impractical to combine the two approaches, as the oily fluid may make it hard for rubber to stick. I get a lot of rain, so I prefer to cover my antenna connection with self amalgamating rubber. Zack Lau W1VT ARRL Senior Lab Engineer |
