Travis had good luck with garbage bags. Have to change them when they
shred.
I tried every product suggested to me several years ago on my antenna range.
Nothing worked.
I did not try that never wet stuff though.
Black paint.
Garbage bags.
Radome heater if you want to really get crazy. (Blow some hot air inside
it).

There isn't a really a good answer.
Painting them black helps to warm them up when the sun comes out. I
have seen people put black heat shrink over them before. Probably want
to make sure whatever you add doesn't absorb RF.

It seems like a couple times over the winter we have ice that covers a

It's only a handful of customers that directly face the iced up side of
the omni that have degraded signals.
We usually only have an issue when rain slowly switches to ice and then
snow.
It will either take a tower climb or wait for warmer temps to melt said
ice.
What measures has anyone here on the list taken to prevent this condition?
