383.109lubricate a reatractable antenna?REGENT::POWERSMon Feb 03 1997 09:366
In cold weather my retractable radio antenna sometimes doesn't go up or down
as far as it should.
Would lubricating the antenna help?  With what?  It's some kind
of plastic jacketed antenna.

    Clean it first to get all the gunk off of it.  Use a thin coating of
    dry lubricant like graphite or some other lubricant that will not
    remain wet.  Be prepared to do another application soon after it gets
    wet from snow, rain or road spray.  Cleaning it will most likely have
    the greatest effect.  You most likely also have water in the mast
    somewhere which is freezing.  Mine does this and it will neither extend
    or contract completely after snow melt etc. gets in there.

383.111SMURF::PBECKPaul BeckTue Feb 04 1997 14:404
    I always enjoy watching a power antenna retract after driving
    through a light freezing rain. (This is about the _only_ thing I can
    think of that's enjoyable about freezing rain and driving...) Sorta
    like watching a snake shed its skin.
