As I sit here not participating in the Jan VHF QSO party partially due
to a cold but mostly due to freezing rain, I wonder. I wonder what
stories and advice the group has about this sort of situation on VHF and
up.

What sorts of design and fabrication details work to make antennas
perform well in environmental extremes?

Well I thank everyone that has answered so far. And don't stop.

I am getting answers that aren't quite for the question I thought I
asked, and that's a good thing.

Thanks!
