If those folks can locate that high-altitude solder, I'm sure the same source will have an ample supply of RF grease to help the radio waves slip off of your antenna.
It's especially useful for very short antennas where the electromagnetic friction gets very, very high in those loading coils. I ran out about 1960 and haven't been able to find any since. The experts tell me it wasn't the grease at all, but the biggest sunspot cycle since radio was discovered that did the good work, but I know better. My logs prove it!
