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..
