Default lube for telescoping antenna?


IR wrote:
I just got an old RS CB portable with the good old long
telescoping antenna. It's pretty hard to extend, was
thinking of a bit of mineral oil, but I wouldn't want
to impair the RF performance of the antenna either.

Any thoughts?

My first choice would be silicone spray... doesn't attract dirt so
mauch like oil.

Yeah good call there TE.

Use Pam cooking spray. I use it on my aluminum tubing saw, paper
shreader, ban saw, and many other items. It can be used to lube the
Telescoping Chrome surface of the antenna. Spray it and let it set over
night, then slowly run the antenna up and dowm, then wipe off the excess.

Hi Jay, gravy rules! :-)

Yeah things are going pretty well over here, can't complain no one listens
anyway. I've used pam spray to lubricate typewriters too..easy and light as
they say.

Hope all is well in the desert too, rock on man.
