There's no such thing as a clear-sky charged-particle problem, either
in the Arizona desert or anywhere else. Naming isn't proving. You're
going to have people blaming their arcing problems on pure fantasy.

Ahm,
like there are no molecules of air being moved by the wind and rubbing on
conductive parts?
When part is not grounded, it will not accumulate the charge?
If the charge exceeds dielectric strength of the insulator (connector), the
discharge in form of spark would not happen?
Like ariplanes do not accumulate charge when flying? Or my 72 Buick?
Like Cecil is completely off the rocker making stuff up just to make himself
look foolish? Hmmmmmm!
Too much funny stuff going on here from scientwific community. :-)

Would you like to tell me how airplanes accumulate charge, Yuri? Would
you like to give me the results of the experiments you're always
threatening to do, but never get around to doing? Would you like
to explain the triboelectric effect and how it relates to antennas
and transmission lines? Perhaps you're an expert on atmospheric
electricity and can tell us all about it. I'd especially like to
hear how the wind "rubbing on conductive parts" causes noise. Cecil
was too chicken to do any meaningful experiments with this, maybe you
can inspire us with your courage and show us how it's done. It'll
sure beat the tired, old attempts at sarcasm you're always posting here,
and probably increase your credibility, too.
