[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 753441, member: 369937"] And all this does nothing for all the tons of water up there in those mean really dark clouds attenuating all the signals coming down through them, at the CATV head ends we would use bigger dishes for rain fade problems,(6 meters or larger) heated dishes and LNB's for snow/ice problems and dish covers for all the rest. In my 50 + years of dealing with this stuff I have seen everything known to man to try and get the signal back, most is just temporary, the coatings/wax/sprays collect dirt or gum up the dish, the plastic covers blow away or crack to pieces, up north at the dew line we built radomes around the dishes, big problem was that the snow would pile up on one side and you would loose signal in that direction. But what ever works for you keep doing it, but in my professional opinion the best permanent solution for weather fade is a bigger dish. [/QUOTE]
