[OKDXA] Protection against icing of mast in tower during winnter

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

Thank you, Tim.

It looks as if a 1056-32 or maybe even a 1056-42 pipe sleeve seal
will do the the job.

The 1056-32 just above the top of the tower and a 1056-42 on the
mast above the thrust bearing down in the tower!

Now to locate this in OKC.  I suspect Locke Supply would be a good
place to start.

Hello Mac

I use a "Fernco" to protect the tops of bearings and rotators.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a shield to install on a 2" O.D.
mast that will keep freezing precipitation from locking the rotating
mast up in the tower tube?
