[TowerTalk] 160 m. vertical and snow

[Rob Atkinson, K5UJ]

Back a month or two ago when the depth of the snow in upper N.Y. state was 8 
feet and higher, I asked a number of broadcasters if that posed a problem 
for their antennas.  The response was no, that snow didn't matter.  It's 
true that ice is a poor conductor.  since snow is mostly air (the powdery 
kind at least) and frozen water it seemed to make sense.  So for what that's 
worth....
