Hi David,

Add some radials to your vertical antenna. Research this by going to
google groups and doing a search using the keywords "ground" and
"radials."

Add a choke at the feedpoint. This can be a coil of transmission
line, or a 1:1 Current BalUn.

If you still have static noise AND it is due to charged particles
(smoke, soot, rain, snow, dust) then add a 1K Ohm resistor across the
feed point (or any handy choke of more than a 100 µH).
