Default folded dipoles

I'm not sure of the numbers involved, but as someone who has lived in a
300 inch of snow per season and storms with up to 10 inch/hour plus high
winds, that snow static is real and a real pain in the ass. It makes
small pops as it hits, and eventually you will hear a large amount of
noise apparently from discharge. Dependant on antenna type, etc.


Tom, do you have any experience with bare-wire dipoles Vs
insulated folded dipoles?

I have no experience with dust.


Add your snow static experience to my dust static experience
and all we need is someone with rain static experience. :-)
