On a closely related note I think I have stumbled onto a better lubricant for the mast.
Recently after lubing the chain on my mountain bike I realized that I might just be holding the ideal antenna mast lubricant in my hand.
I had been using Tri-Flow, WD40, or Superlube on the antenna mast. I never felt that any of them seemed ideal. I tried the White Lightning chain lube I had in my hand and it seems much more satisfactory.
White Lightning is a chain wax that is in a liquid form. It goes on like a heavy oil, but dries into a soft wax. Don't use White Lightning Raceday. Raceday is much dirtier. Regular White Lightning is so clean that it is safe to park your bike on a carpet and not worry about chain drippings getting on the carpet.
Anyway, it works for me.
