Thanks for the ideas.
The question was prompted because I don't want to take the antenna down for
a check or repair, and I don't know how well my readily available materials
hold up under UV and heat.

How useful is it to have plastic tip caps on an antenna you cannot reach?

If the antenna is made of hollow aluminum tubing it keeps rain, snow and
insects out of the tube.

Ah tube... I was thinking about steel rod with a pointy (and maybe
dangerous) end.
