Larry:

I found some No Alox at Lowe's on a bottom shelf.  Look in the electrical
aisle(s) and the two Lowe's I've been in had it on a bottom shelf.  I've also
used the GB No Ox or Anti Ox with good success.  They usually carry it in like a
1 oz and 4 ounce or maybe 8 ounce tube (about the size of a squeeze tube of DAP
latex bathroom caulking).  Its similar to the "Butter Its Not" anti ox supplied
with antennas years ago by the Butternut folks when I had an HF6V.  I use just
enough NoAlox to dull the shiny aluminum finish with a real think coat.  Some
folks may also disagree, but I also usually take some 0000 superfine steel wool
and gently smooth the aluminum tubing and wipe it down with an old towel or 
cloth
before putting on the anti-ox.  Gotten rid of a few burrs, etc. that way.
