This is fine as an elaboration that grows beyond the horizon of the
question. But it really serves no purpose but to embroider a glaring
lack of facts.

Perhaps the measured DC value is not the result of EM waves
but the result of mechanical depositing of charge on the
antenna. I assume that wind/snow static is DC - enough DC
to cause arcing across a coax connector.
