It would move the resonant frequency down, but only 1-2%.

Interesting topic.
Back when I was in FL is used 80 meter quad loop arrays and never had an
issue with rain static. The loops were all from insulated wire. I wonder
if coating the elements with liquid electrical tape or something similar
would do the trick. It might be easy enough to do to just the driven
element, since I believe that is the main source of the QRN.
