Aihe: Ice remover
Jari, OH8LQ, cordially added a picture of this tool to his website.

The bottom picture shows a version of the ice remover.
I sure hope there will not be this grade ice storms too often.
Also I feel sad about so many hams having to fix their stations on a
larger scale.
I hope many will be fixed for ARRL DX.
CU !
