Bill,

Is your signal degradation sudden or gradual as correlated
with outside temperature?

How well sealed is your outdoor connector? Maybe moisture
or thin layer of ice at the cable-connector-antenna junction?

Monitoring antenna voltage & current could be a good clue
to the source of the problem.

Those HP hockey puck or cone antennas are used in cell
towers all over; it seems unlikely it would be the fault in the
antenna itself. Richard -- do you see any of these on cell
sites in Fairbanks?
