Thanks GroundURMast
You are right that even at the apex of my roof, the antenna components are not easy to visually inspect. The antenna itself looks fine - my next step was to loosen the mast and lower the whole unit for a closer look but honestly, I have been avoiding that hoping for an easier answer!! The rotor seems true - I have watched it move while someone inside is hitting the remote and it will turn 360 -
Living where I do we certainly get enough rain to possibly cause a problem- the pre amp is outside on the mast (as recommended) and it is insulated as much as possible - I am not sure what to look for as far as water in the coax?? Corrosion I could see but what do I do if there is some corrosion?
ESD?? I wouldn't know what to do with that - how could I tell if that kind of damage occurred to the pre-amp
Thanks in advance - I am feeling a little lost here - but it looks like a day up on the roof is in my future
