C3, 6M3 and 2M7. I have a low frequency noise when the wind blows and I suspect
the C3 is the source. Sounds like an airplane is flying close by. Rotating the
antenna so that it is perpendicular to the wind direction diminishes the volume
somewhat.
It is not a huge deal, but I'd like to keep the antenna pointed into the wind
when it blows. Is there any simple way to eliminate or cut down on the noise?
If you take a small rope and spiral it around the elements, it will kill
the aeolian vibrations, if that's what's causing the problem. About one
turn every 3-4 feet.
