Re: [Repeater-Builder] WEATHER RELATED STATIC

hERE IS A SILLY QUESTION:
 
Where would you want to mount a static buster on a 4-bay antenna? On the top of the mast? I looked at the mounting instructions and that is the conclusion I have come too, but I could be way off.

First make sure that the antenna is bonded to the tower and the tower
is bonded to the ground rod system and the repeater is bonded to the
ground system.
Then go to
and scroll down to "Antennas" and look at the article on precipitation static.
A "static buster" might be just what you need.
