I have tried DB, Comm. Products, and Antenna Specialist for some Mountain top sites in Montana. None of them held up through the Winter. I finally went to Scala, now Kathrein Scala Division, had them build a tank of an antenna in 1989. To the best of my knowledge they are still in service. Kathrein Scala has a web site and a catalog to view. Good Luck
