Use Travis Johnson's method of putting a black thick mil trash bag on
it...the blowing in the wind will shake loose any potential for rime ice.

Yeah, being in New England area we use Radome's on most of radios
on high locations, but this one would be on top of a ski mountain
and there are other cell phone provider antenna's up there covered
pretty think with rime ice. I know in general ice doesn't
attenuate 5Ghz too bad, but it looks like the build up can be
extensive here. Started to look for heated radome's but again
came up empty. Might be one of those deals where we try it and see
what happens.

With a radome, the ice shouldn't be too much of an issue unless
it gets really thick. I had some dished here in Texas that I did
not put radomes on, thinking that the one or two days of ice we
get a year would not matter. With about 1/2 inch of ice directly
on the end of the feed, my throughput went to nothing. I added a
radome and then next ice storm with about the same covering of
ice had no effect and my throughput remained constant. I would go
with a radome with even a possibility of ice.

Anyone have to deal with rime ice on antenna's? We need to
build a PTP link that will be on a top of a mountain that's
notorious for rime Ice. It would be a 5GHz link with sturdy
3ft radome but I'm not aware at what effect rime ice might
have on 5GHz signal if any? Googling hasn't really bought up
any decent info.
Thanks,
Bret
