My RAK-1 refused to budge this winter when temps dropped below zero
Fahrenheit. It began working one the temps warmed to above 20F. Since it
was always below freezing when working I don't think it was icing.
I think the grease used for lube just got too thick for it to work.
What would be a more suitable grease to prevent this?
I could also put some sort of heater on it as a last resort but that seems
a bit much.
QTH is Parkton, Maryland, due north of Baltimore and just south of PA so
this is a infrequent but annoying occurrence especially during a contest.
TIA
