Abstract
A precipitation removal apparatus includes a satellite dish that is positioned on a mounting. An arm is attached to the mounting. A signal receptor is mounted on a post attached to the arm and is directed toward the dish. A tube is fluidly coupled to a top wall of a housing assembly, and a fan is mounted on a bottom wall of the housing assembly for directing air through an opening in the bottom wall. A heating element is mounted in the housing assembly. A bracket removably attaches the housing assembly to the arm so that the second end of the tube is directed adjacent and parallel to an outer surface of the signal receptor. The fan and heating element are turned on and warm air ejected outwardly of the tube.
