I'm getting ready to put up an Alpha Delta DX-LB-Plus antenna. I notice
there are a lot of exposed terminals. (Perhaps the nuts and bolts are

I use RTV, the non acetic kind.Regular RTV is more corrosive than leaving it

I think this comes in black too that is sa lot more UV resistant but I
havent tried this yet
