As reported to me by W4YOK via a letter from the mfg, Ideal, who makes Noalox, the product that is used
to mate dis-similar metals, is not actually a conductor. It does have vy small particles of metal in the "grease" but those can not really be counted on the conduct, sez mfg. Instead, it is made to retard water and to "strip oxidation" automatically off aluminum. Maybe that is why it works so well on the joints of yagis telescopic or swaged elements. I have used this kind of product for years on antennas and --taken apart years later-- the stuff makes disassembly a snap. 73, Charles Harpole [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
