http://www.repeater-builder.com/rbtip/static.html Although thoroughly tested on commercial antennas, the Static Buster will work on Diamond and Comet antennas as well. I have suggested their use to several folks that have bought, tried, and have proven they work on these cheaper antennas too. You do have to provide some DC path which has been accomplished by soldering a 100K resistor the the top element and then running a wire to the static buster mounted on the top. You see, these cheaper antennas don't actually have continuity to the metallic cap on the top like the stationmaster, sinclair, and other commercial types do, and this modification accomplishes that.
