Barry,
Thanks for coming back to the group. I missed you.
The timing of your post is amazing. I've recently been doing a lot of
internet "research" on the topic of mobile HF radio installation. The topic
of grounding is BIG in that application. Further, the issue of bonding to
Aluminum is critical.
Your advice to brighten the connector surfaces and use star washers is just
what I'm reading there too. Also, some recommend using antioxidant grease on
the connections. I am told that Aluminum oxidizes so rapidly that one is
advised to wire brush the contacts with the grease on (!) thus preventing
oxidation during the install and in the future. What is your take on this
advice?

PS: Barry, I don't think you're "Chop'd Liver". I think you're a
thoroughbred. And I never met a thoroughbred that ain't high strung. I
appreciate your sharing your expertise. I just wish you had a different
hero. That Yamashiada guy is a bit rough!
