[TowerTalk] rain static (a cure?)

[john at kk9a.com]

There are probably thousands of Yagis installed around the world that are
completely enclosed inside fiberglass tubes. Are these immune to rain
static? I doubt it. If this idea worked I would consider buying a SteppIR
just for rainy days.

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.
