Now I ask you... why would I have statickey noise from driving on old

I previously noticed the same thing - the smoother the road, the lower
the RF noise level. shocks? springs? tires?

Ain't that a hoot? I could understand the static level changing from asphalt
to concrete (maybe) but from old to new asphalt? By the way, the old and new
roads were about the same smoothness if the potholes were missed.

Maybe the dimples of the new asphalt being taller than the worn asphalt
meant less surface contact. Is it a full moon yet?
