[TowerTalk] rain static

[Jim Jarvis]

Do users of Steppir antennas suffer from rain static?

I had a Tennadyne T8 @ 80' which exhibited same.  
Replaced it with a 3 el SteppIR, and never noticed
any.  It experienced rain, freezing rain, ice, and 
snow.  When Joe asked about the lpda/static, I was
thinking about my steppIR, and wondering the same as
Bill.  

Would like a greater data sample, though.  Anyone in 
a rainy climate like to chime in?
