Hi Guys, I applied "Vaseline" petroleum jelly onto the coax connectors of my inverted "L" antennas at the end of each October, and re-opened same in April, to allow me to stow away the feeders for this "seasonal" antenna---there was NEVER any evidence of corrosion, or harm done, in that 6 month span. I'd been doing this for some 6 years, too. I received this tip from someone who used to do extensive work with a cable TV company in northern Ontario: he said that the practice was "de riguer" with the staff. ~73~ de Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
