As with practically any RF-based application, normal weathering presents no significant defects in the radio spectrum. Obviously an El-Ninio snowstorm *might* cause some detrimental effects. I would suggest as with any antenna which has "hollow" radials ( yagi-type ) to put a piece of nylon rope in each of the radials and seal them with a silicon epoxy. This will significantly reduce the stress on the antenna due to "singing". Radio stations, television stations, et al use wireless technology in bad weather everyday and normally don't experience problems. I highly doubt the average snow storm would cause any problems. The wind should be your biggest concern, and using the rope/epoxy should assist you in curing that problem. > > > On Thu, 30 Oct 1997, Dru Nelson wrote: > > > > Rod, > > > How did your test go with that 12mile?
