SM6CPY- Carl, I had the same problem about 30 years ago on a aluminum wire
beverage, about 1000' long. It was fed and terminated properly, but because the
wire was bare, it picked up so much snow static when it starting snowing, I
had to dis-continue using it until it stopped snowing ! I told a friend of
mine, Tom, W8JI about it and he said that was impossible to happen but it did
!
I cured the problem by putting up covered wire, a plastic covering. Have not
heard the snow static again, and that was 30 years ago ! Willy K3VW
