Couple of note on Aluminum elements...
?
For older antennas ScotchBright (green pads)? to initially clean the
joints inside and out.? I just wrap some of that around a small
dowel and stuff it in and work it around to clean up the inside.
?
Then smear on some penetrox/noalox or similar and assemble
and tighten clamps.
?
I assemble new with that stuff and they come apart easier?
and the connections are always good, even decades later.
?
A little on threads keep them happier and less likely
to rust or gall.
