Greetings
	I'm about to purchase an antenna and was wondering what the rest of
you do to prevent or slow down corresion.  Is there any particular brand of
weather sealant or coating that I should apply?  Are there any particular
weak spots to check?  If the antenna is engineered properly, should I even
worry?

	I'm just concerned because it's a pain bringing down and putting up
antennas and after seeing the condition of them after 5 years makes me wonder
how they still work.

Thanks in advance!
