Is that antenna lube organic or one of those nasty petrochemical compounds? Bio radio, I like the sound of that!

It's one of those nasty petro chemical compounds? But will make you the best of the best over the air waves.

What do I rub it on....
Mikeeee -
Antenna Lube goes on the antenna. From top to the bottom.

So you guys are all saying that when I check my SWR on my slip seat rig with 18' foot of coax and the SWR is 1.7:1, and then check it with 9' of coax and its over 3:1 that what???? my meter is bad? I'm lying? you've read a book and it says it doesn't make any difference? Again, I know I'm not "tuning" the antenna by doing this, just masking the problem.
Am I to infer that if you guys threw a radio in a truck, checked the SWR and found it dangerously high ( you already know it is a bonding/rf gnd. issue and not a too short or to long antenna problem) you don't have the time to fix the issue, and a longer piece of coax would result in a safe SWR reading, that you wouldn't use it????? If so that means your choices are talk on your radio with a 3:1 or greater SWR......or not talk at all. Not good choices IMHO. -

How are you guys so sure that when you change the length of the coax it's not fooling the meter into thinking and acceptable swr is now a bad swr.
You guys just think you're so smart -
It's not making the SWR better for the radio, Mike. It's making it THINK it's better. It's still doing the damage. That's what we're saying.

go check your connectors on the 9' cable or else try a different one. Chances are better than average that you have a bad connector on it.
