[TowerTalk] rain static (a cure?)

[cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

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.
