Grounding the feedpoint with a choke will prevent build-up
of static on the antenna, but probably won't get rid of all the
noise. In any case, about 25 microhenries is enough for 80M, and
can provide some lightning protection if it is heavy enough. A
large resistor (like 100 K) will also prevent charge build-up, but
offers no lightning protection.
Rain static noise is caused by charged drops of rain hitting
the antenna, so small antennas shouldn't be as noisy as large
ones. You might just want to use a small antenna for receiving
on 80. Small loops should work well. I've also heard that using
insulated wire cuts down on rain static.

Bob,
You're a cheapskate! You only contributed $60.00 to the deficit for club vanity
calls.
The Tuckers of La Mirada, CA (AA6TK, N6TK, AA6KT, and AA6ET) contributed
$960.00 for their 32 vanity calls!
If you want flames from us, you'll need to increase your spending.

**************************************************************************
The calls were put by there old call and in that call area. Also you will
notice a number next to the old call. That is the number of the choice
they receieved. The calls are in the order they were receieved by me.
Also Scott, KA9FOX has all the vanity call info on his home page with a
complete listing if anyone is interested.
I am sorry if this format laps some of the email addresses around. They
are just to long to get all on one line. I did put the new email addresses
people gave me on here so if the mail bounces you will know why.

I AM GETTING A LOT OF SCORES WITH NO POWER OR CLASS ON THEM!!!!!!!
THEY ALL GO INTO THE HIGH POWER OR B CLASS !!!!!!!!
This is the first posting and since I got scores off internet and also
off 3830 itself a score may be on here twice. Just let me know if yours
is and I will take the incorrect one off.
