Hello all,
A couple of questions from a newbie refurbing his first set of
aluminum (Mosley TA53M w/40M add-on). The antenna has been
disassembled and in storage for some time and the old penetrox is now
a sort of semi-crust on the element overlaps. What's the best way
to remove old penetrox-and do I have to re-penetrox or can I use
No-al-ox (which I have on hand.
And second, can/should I paint the antenna after it is cleaned up a
bit? Mosley sells an (expensive) Weather guard paint, but I was
wondering about alternatives or even whether it's a good idea.
Uh, maybe a bonus question..anybody know what size of guying is
supposed to be used for the 40M add-on? The thimbles are 3/16", so
I'm assuming 3/16" Dacron? Seems like overkill...
Thanks!
