Discharges resulting in what you hear {would call} 'Static'. Versus a FOG 'Quiet' where a moist still Ground Fog can drain-off most of the build-up of ESD and local Atmospheric Noise is 'nil'. Porcupine* the Far-End of the Antenna Wire to reduce the ESD on the Wire itself * Spread-Out each of the Individual Strands of the Antenna Wire to form a Sphere {Pin Cushion} -aka- 'Porcupine' http://unzipyourgenes.files.wordpres...porcupine1.jpg -note- 'Knot' the Wire first about an Inch from the End; before you do the 'Porcupine' thing with the last Inch of Wire Strands. -tip- with Insulated Wire remove the Insulation. |

The FCC rules permit TV antennas where shortwave antennas are banned. You can use the giant Terk as part of a much bigger "stealth" HF antenna system. |
