Noalox was originally designed for use with aluminum wire to prevent oxidation. Here's an extensive thread about where to use what in reducing resistance in mod connections. You will probably get all the info you are looking for, or at least find members who are knowledgeable about thread compounds and their uses. They talk about it all there.

I understand what it was designed for... AL-AL / AL-CU connections. I've been using it for years on antenna connections (Ham/CB)
Just wanted first hand observations from those who have used it on brass...
Thanks for the link!

Sounds like you and I have similar backgrounds. I was a Xerox Tech Rep for 36 years on high end electronic printers (180 page per minute color and monochrome). We used Noalox, Nyogel, De-Oxit Gold, and other chemicals for protection against oxidation. It's all good when used where intended.
I was into CB and SWL decades ago. Then, the internet came along and it was all available from a keyboard!
10-4 Dave,
I joke with the whole "High Tech Redneck" thing but it fits me quite well actually
I worked for years in DOD software systems after my stint in the USAF in the early 70's...then took a couple years off and ski bummed in Aspen...came back to the east coast, got married, had kids, worked another stint for DOD... I do play around with CB's and Amplifiers some (I have a 800 watt base station). Still do software and build PC's for fun and frolic but I do more server admin for a couple servers I own than anything else as far as employment goes.
But living out in a cabin on a lake with my wife, kids and dogs I love my country living.

So...I skipped the Noalox and went with CRC's electrical lube...(it's mineral oil in a spray can)
Hit all the threads on my new Hcigar Brass Stingray clone with a couple drops and also dripped a drop or two in the sides of the magnet assembly and popped in a fresh VTC5 and screwed in my RSBT and fired it up.
Most excellent!
