Use nichrome wire and run power into the antenna until the ice melts
off?

OK, I am crawling back into my hole now....

hi


larger swr's bother me, if you can bare w/my ramblings i wonder f
anyone might have some useful tips...

i have a center fed dipole mounted on some pvc w/eyebolts .

previous rains/snows didn't really effect my swr's

accross 6-160m my swr's were usually 1:2 maybe 1:4 on one band.

thanks to the mast mounted sgc237 feeding my dipole via 5' of ladderline


its a short dipole 25ft hot side about 40ft rf 'gnd' side.


today i guess the snow was wet and trees, n stuff are all coated
w/thick ice, can't see my antenna, but guessing it might have the
center part frozen?? and or other parts. (not my dipole is roof mounted
and clear of trees)
