Seems the assertion should be that precipitation noise
can exist on some antennas but not on others.

Living in this climate, I don't have any particular view or experience
about static noise (but ironically we're just about to get one of our
few thunderstorms of the year... better go and do something about that).

Just one other thing: PLEASE let's not talk about elements being
"grounded", way up there at the top of a tower.

How about "DC grounded"?

By all means; so long as we never forget to include the "DC" part.
