Regarding antenna maintenance: one forewarned engineer is worth two.
1.- Protect the antenna with a cover or radome: antenna covers are covers designed to protect the antennas from the elements and prevent water from entering the interior. Antenna covers of different materials and sizes can be used, depending on the type of antenna and weather conditions.
Seal the connectors: Antenna connectors are vulnerable points where water can enter the interior. Special sealants can be used to seal the connectors and prevent water from entering the inside of the antenna; The ideal is to do it from where the feeder starts. You cannot leave your facilities like this, because at some point it will fail.
Schedule maintenance: It is important to regularly check the antenna to detect and repair any damage or wear that could allow water to enter the interior. If the antenna is found to be damaged or not working properly, it is important to repair or replace it to avoid more serious problems in the future.
