Didn't plan to disappear on you guys last night, but the sleet & ice collecting on the face of the dish finally killed the signal; not the 1st time it's happened.
I had a stroke of genius this morning. I figured I'd have to go out in the sleet & rain to throw warm water on the dish, which is on a 4-5' post, close to the back of the house. I noticed it was also not far from the kitchen window, so I extended the spray tube in the faucet as far as it would go, waited for the water to warm up, & cleared enough ice off the dish to ge a signal, & here I am.
I'm so brilliant sometimes that I scare myself
You did good, scared everybody!
