We had a local company build us covers for our Laird antennas after the first one had the tape fail. They are pretty much made out of a black slippery boat canvas type material and slip over the top and then tie off at the bottom. The original has been up for close to 6 years now. The rest are newer. If you think they would buy you time on the remaining antennas I could get you the contact info. They have the design on file and should be able to make you them and send them out in the mail. Obviously still requires a climb to replace but its easier then lifting a new antenna into place. Our guy got good at using a plastic pipe to support the “sock” and slipping it up and over the top.

Every few years they have to be replaced because the internals rust out, but we are used to identifying the issue and replacing them when it happens. So, does anyone have any NIB ODH9-9 omnis they are willing to part with? Or am I going to have to switch to Amphenol? Regards, Chuck
