[VHFcontesting] Keeping ice and snow off of antennas /R, /P

[nosigma at aol.com]

Old news I expect but I am thrilled with it.

A few days ago I took the beams off the carry rack on my Jeep roof.  Put them on saw horses and thoroughly sprayed them with silicon spray lube (doesnt attack rubber like wd 40 or pb blaster).

Snowed, rained, froze a few times since then and snowed a bit last night.  Putting beams back in the roof rack this morning.  Only had a small amount of snow piled on horizontal sufaces, most fell off on its own.  No ice stuck.   A light shake and what was left fell off.

Good luck, stay warm
