WD-40 does not prevent rust. It is a penetrating oil
and moisture displacer (WD = Water Displacement). It
is not even a very good lubricant. It will free up
rusted parts because it is a penetrant, but it evaporates
quickly.

That sure is weird, because WD-40 is supposed to remove & prevent
rust. Anyway, another product to use is Tri-Flow. Its like WD-40,
plus teflon, minus the bad smell. I think the last time I cleaned my
antenna, I actually used Tri-Flow, but I have used WD-40 in the past.
