[Elecraft] KPA-1500 wish list

[Lyn Norstad]

Now you've done it ... created a whole new category of products to wish for
... at least for those of us in the frozen North:

 

THE ANTENNA DE-ICER!

 

Imagine, if you will, a device that would initiate a series of super slow CW
(“Testing + <your call sign> + + ”) transmissions at full legal power
combined with a short, quick back-and-forth rotator motion sequence designed
to loosen - and then shake - the ice off your beam as the long, gangly
elements wobble in a pre-determined fashion.

 

Imagine also all the problems and design challenges to be overcome with
respect to the involved components.

 

The possibilities are staggering!

Ah, but there can be more than two setting. A little wet, or a lot wet. 

Or, in the case of one of my antennas, varying amounts of frost.
