I wondered if this group has any opinions on the need for ice breakers
or ice shields. Currently our DB224E's are at 1340 Ft and mounted about
6" off the leg of the 1400 ft tower. We have not had any problems from
falling ice at this level over the past 10 years.

We have been asked to move down to 1240 ft to make way for DTV antennas
and one of our antenna's will be lower at 1100 ft. One of the club
members suggested that going to the lower height significantly increases
the risk of damage from falling ice even with the very close spacing to
the tower leg which we plan to continue with at the new height.

Question is should we try to obtain some ice breakers and install them
above the antennas to protect from falling ice?
