WITH OAT 25 DEGREES BELOW ZERO AND THE AIRCRAFT FLYING THROUGH HEAVY RAIN THE PILOT REPORTED THE ELEVATOR TRIM TAB BECAME INOPERATIVE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STABILIZE THE AIRCRAFT MANUALLY DURING AN ILS APPROACH THE AIRCRAFT DESCENDED BELOW GLIDESLOPE AND COLLIDED WITH A 35 FOOT TV ANTENNA 2 TO 3 MILES FROM THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT EXECUTED A MISSED APPROACH AND EVENTUALLY ELECTED TO FLY TO HIS ORIGINAL ALTERNATE, COLUMBUS. ON FINAL, THE TOWER PERSONNEL OBSERVED THE NOSE GEAR NOT FULLY EXTENDED AND NOTIFIED THE PILOT. BOTH ENGINES WERE FEATHERED AND UPON TOUCHDOWN THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. INVESTIGATION REVEALED N3DS HAD BEEN CLEARED FOR A DME/ILS TO 7000 FEET BUT NO FINAL APPROACH CLEARANCE HAD EVER BEEN ISSUED.
