Just to add my two cents.I had a 4 el monobander and a 3 el two band
trapped beam on the same mast, the 3 el above the 4 el. at 60 ft. No
noise under any situation. I replaced the 3 el with a T-7 LP, same
mast, same 4 el monobander underneath, same spacing, etc. Very noisy
in precip, variable with intensity of precip. Snow worse than rain. It
makes the 4 el nearly unusable as well. Nearby wire antennas are
quiet.

One more "data" point. Good discussion.
