Static is not exclusive to one type of antenna... I've had and heard some real train-wreck stories about placing antennas in classic high desert and hot/dry locations where the wind conditions really cause grief. Decibel or Sinclair has/had a "static option" or kit for their folded dipole antennas. It's a material wrapped around the dipoles and the type of wrap material depends on the location where the antenna will be installed. Now when I need them... I make my own folded dipole anti-static kits. The common anti-static kit method for folded dipoles is quite different from the typical vertical fiberglass antenna. cheers, skipp skipp025 at yahoo.com www.radiowrench.com/sonic
