Rip the weatherproofing off the connectors and open them up. The complaint you state is consistent with moisture in the connections. When the moisture freezes between the connections the ice crystals form and decrease the connectivity.
Moisture may also be in the antennas or it may have "wicked" its way down to the connectors if the antennas have pigtails. How are you weatherproofing your connectors???

No dew this week. Frost, but no dew. We certainly tried to ensure all connectors were sealed. I do have a climber going up that tower late in the week. I will have him check the waterproofing on that antenna. Radios are at the bottom with 140' of LMR600. Jason wrote: > Does it happen in the morning when there is dew?
