[Antennas] Cleaning aluminum antenna parts

Mon Oct 4 17:52:39 EDT 2004

I am looking for suggestions for cleaning aluminum tubing used in yagi 
beams. I have a beam that I disassembled when I moved that has been 
exposed to the elements for about a year. I want to clean the ends of 
the telescoping surfaces that come together to insure a good 
electrical contact between the various pieces of tubing. When the 
contacting surfaces are cleaned I will reassemble the yagi using 
Penetrox so need a cleaning material that is compatible with Penetrox.
TIA & 73
