Abstract

Apparatus for connecting an electrically conducting antenna lead to a non-solderable, electrically conducting antenna surface includes a strip of electrically conducting solderable tape fixed adhesively to the first paint coating, the lead being soldered to the strip. The strip has a plurality of cutout openings to provide inner edges and additional access to the antenna surface; and a coating of electrically conducting paint over the strip and openings to provide electrical contact between the strip top or edges and the antenna surface and further provide environmental protection for the apparatus.
