[TowerTalk] precipitation static & folded verticals

[David Jordan]

Hi Tom,

Yes, I'm hearing white noise build-up rather than sizzle...my antennas
are relatively low for 160m (50-60ft). Storms usually coming from the
same direction so can't talk to that...also the storms are hours away
from the QTH when I hear the white noise start to build...that puts them
around 30-100 miles away depending on the speed they are moving...

thanks,
dave
