Yes, I know what you're thinking ... aluminum and copper will cause
corrosion. I thought the same but he assures me that corrosion does not
occur when this product is used on aluminum, stainless or galvanized
fittings. I believe him. It's got "anti-oxidants and corrosion inhibitors",
say the manufacturer. By the way there is nothing wrong with having a grease
carrier. A lot of people use Dow Corning Pure Silicone Grease for coax cable
fittings. It works fine. 

I also wonder (along with Gary) if there might be something even better in
the Jet Lube product line.

        Interesting, looked up SS-30 and it reads :
        SS-30 Antisieze compound for stainless steel, contains pure
        metallic copper in a non - melting grease base.
        Uses: battery terminals and bus bar connections..

        Dont think I would be interested in using copper between my
        aluminum antenna joints.  Or grease base for that matter ..
        Must be missing something here..
