Hi Myles,

Water and Ice are not that big a deal when you have an SGC.

This and other SWR reports suggest your tuner is not taking care of
the job. You are not supposed to be seeing SWR. It sounds like you
don't have enough choking on the transmission line and/or the control
lines going up to your dipole. As pointed out before, trying to
obtain a total solution with one antenna MUST lead to some exceptions
in operation.
