Re: Stuff?


 

Wow, a UB50 beam hey....that antenna will work very nicely!

We just need Solar Cycle 25 to arrive.....you'll be well prepared when it
does.

Hopefully being deployed at considerable height.....I expect to hear a
sonorous signal from VK6 land when pointed easterly toward distant Adelaide!

Thanks Leigh.

Yes, I bought 5 tubes, to share the postage costs, plus I know that the
3 mates who are coming down here to help build and install my Ultrabeam
UB50, (if it ever stops raining) will want some. I'll be able to send
them home with their own tube, after we've finished and the have
polished off all my beer.

73, Alek.

Indeed Alek, the stuff here is called STUF... :-)

I can vouch for its efficacy as a stable non-hardening moisture sealant
compound and it works a treat in preserving weather exposed RF connector
internals like new.

I was supplied a toothpaste-style tube of the "STUF" stuff some years back
with a Butternut antenna and coaxial hardware bought through HRO. Used
sparingly a tube of the compound lasts a long time!

OK Thanks Mike and others who replied.

Jerry, WA8R, knew what I was talking about.

The stuff is called "Stuf" and it's made by Cross Devices. See


I have placed an order with RF Parts, for 5 tubes of it.

Cheers and thanks,
Alek.

Does anybody know where to get "Stuff?"

I'm talking about the goo that you put in coax connector joins, which
fills the void in the connection and seals out any moisture.

A Google search has come up blank.

73 and thanks,
Alek.
