HI Pat.
Some of the smaller cable TV coax has aluminum shielding on it, and if
you can get some of it, the shield works real well to connect to
aluminum. I take the shield and wrap it around the coax to the antenna
and seal it real good. Then I use the aluminum to connect to the
antenna, (which are aluminum verticals). It works real good with no
oxidation where the metals touch. 73
