Same here. I'm running mine dry, and that's what Hy-Gain (while they
were still Hy-Gain) recommended. They said to touch up the wear areas
(used tower) where it rested while extended with the spray-on
galvanizing and let 'er rip. My cables are already brown from the
blowing dirt. Nebraska farm land gathers on everything when the wind
blows.
By the way, others have mentioned various brands of cold galvanizing
here, but most of them seem to be 95% zinc. The SPRAYON brand, SØØ74Ø,
is 97%. I bought it from a contractor supply house locally. A welding
supply may also have it, as that's what the manufacturer lists it as.
