Actually, some of them may have worked for me in past years. You seem to have misfiled the fact that I'm a satcomm engineer/troubleshooter myself (albeit retired). And of course Prodelin engineers de-icing systems. But as I said, their de-icing equipment is targeted at unmanned/isolated/remote/inaccessible equipment.Sorry I forgot you where smarter than all the Hughes and Prodelin Engineers.
Regarding HughesNet engineers however, how much luck do you think you'd have trying to buy a de-icing system from them?
