Yesterday, somebody at the weather channel said one quarter inch thickness of ice on a span or overhead wires equals 500 pounds of weight. cuhulin On 1/11/2011 12:44 PM, dave wrote: It's not icicles, it's radial ice on the antenna. It builds up from freezing rain, detunes the antenna which makes the antenna warm up and melt the ice enough to dislodge it. The station should install deicers or ice shields or both. Yeah, but...de-icers or ice shields in Mississippi? Who'd a thunk it? P.S. Don't forget that this is a TV tower, the antenna per se is only a few percent of the height. I'm sure a lot of the ice came off the tower and guy wires just due to the outside air temp warming up a bit. |
