Now I'm not saying wind, dust, and moisture blowing across a

I cured the problem by going to 1000v insulation on the
antenna wire. 600v insulation didn't cure the problem.

I'm only saying I never have seen the noise pitch of what people
commonly call P-static track the actual number of droplets or dust
hitting the antenna, ...

Uhhhh Tom, it doesn't happen in Georgia just as it doesn't
happen in East Texas. If I had never lived in Queen Creek,
Arizona, I never would have seen it either.
