It is worth mentioning because the ice can be a significant factor. The
person who asked the question will have to make an assessment whether ice is
a factor in his particular situation. But there may also be others reading
that want the answer where ice is indeed a factor. I see the mention of ice
as a more complete answer but it is factor that may not apply to all
situations. Getting antennas down from a bent mast would not be fun.
I have ice on average about one day in 10 years. Fortunately, it is usually
without wind.

How can one assume that the person who asked the question has a problem with
ice? I’ve personally never lived in a place,
in 57 years of radio, where I had an ice problem. You guys keep making
things more complicated than necessary – I guess
the computer program was probably in error as well?
Just my humble opinion.
