Can't say I've used one on a repeater, but I have used a 4 element
gamma-fed Yagi on a mountaintop 2 meter remote base & never noticed any
degradation of performance in the dead of winter (it was regularly checked
against the 440 repeater antenna).
If ice will detune a gamma match, why wouldn't it detune the whole driven
element as well?
