[Paul Smith W4KNX]

A good coat of car wax works pretty good.  But I dont think it goes on well
in the winter.

It took us *two blooming YEARS* just to get a lousy satellite dish
installed!
The way it all has to proceed, you would think we were trying to build some
kind of Toxic Waste Dump! It's just a simple fiberglass dish (3 meter) on a
concrete slab with 6' anchor. Because it's close to wetlands, every "swamp
thing"
known to Man has to be consulted and give their seal of approval...
surveyors, enviro people, Civil Engineers, etc. etc, ad nauseam.

It was almost two years to the week, that the thing was finally up and
running. Now, I just have to deal with cleaning the slush off the cover
every hour
or so! Any suggestions for a water/snow repellant spray we can use to keep
this
crud from sticking like oatmeal?
