While this is interesting -- why both to get something special for this?
Any tower-owning ham ought to have a bottle of No-Al-Ox or Penetrox
anyway, right. The particles in the anti-oxidant are zinc, and the tower
is plated with zinc -- so why not use No-Al-Ox instead?
It's what I used on my tower. I also fitted the pieces on the ground
before raising.
