Ray,
OX-Gard. It is an anti oxidant in a grease. It is also conductive. I have 
used it on all of my antenna joints, some coax connections, even in wire nut 
connections. Keep in mind the adage "a little goes a long way" and keep it 
from having a way to cross a PL 259 and short it out. You can find it at 
Home Depot in the electrical department. This is the brand I happen to use 
but any conductive anti oxidant would work. Some do have copper dust in them 
to aid in the conductivity and that can and will wear out a connection that 
is screwed and unscrewed fairly often.
Take Care, 73
