[TowerTalk] storm static

[r miles]

With my 30m Moxon yagi unplugged sometimes  just before a thunderstorm I 
get the blue arc. Wind not necessary. If the humidity is nearing 100% 
just two or three minutes before the rain it happens. Scared me the 
first few times. As soon as rain falls it quits arcing.

When I was in Il the arcing happened if there was strong wind & snow to 
my 2m FM yagi.

Unsettling to be sure!
