Rich, Suggest you look into silicone hose repair tape for the coax connection. Electrical tape tends to unwrap and/or leave a messy residue. This stuff can be found in the garden hose section. It's a bit more expensive, but does a great job. I've wrapped my Steppir Boots with it, great UV protection.
NeverSez (sic) or aluminum wiring protection goo found at an electrical supply house will work. There's copper based stuff that is marine grade and used on thing like propeller bolts that will work well too. Wear gloves or have rags around, it's messy and will stain. I wouldn't bother cleaning the whole element, unless you're going to paint them (or powder coat). They'll oxide again. From street level you'll never know either. Don't forget to protect the joints and hardware on your Glenn Martin as well. See ya on da air... 73, Julius n2wn ----- Julius Fazekas N2WN Tennessee Contest Group http://www.k4ro.net/tcg/index.html Tennessee QSO Party http://www.tnqp.org/ Elecraft K2 #4455 Elecraft K3/100 #366 Elecraft K3/100 -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Mosley-TH-3jr-Weirdness-tp6631788p6634459.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
