Before I try something crazy, like climbing up on the roof ... .

We had an ice storm.  The ice pulled my wire dipole down to the roof, but didn't break it because one mask was Schedule 30, which leaned over nicely.  It then snowed on top of the ice.

I've been able to free the feedline (ladderline) and most of the dipole, but part of the dipole is till under the snow under a layer of ice way up on the roof.

I'm thinking of running 100W from my KXPA100 to melt it out of there,   but before I try:

1.  Is there any chance of this working?
2.  Should I just transmit a TUNE through it?
3.  Can I damage the KXPA100 or tuner?

Right now the coax is not connected to the KX3 and I haven't tried to receive.
