It isn't limited to vertical antennas at all.  I once got zapped with a thick 2 inch long bright blue arc from an 80m Inverted-V that didn't have any static bleedoff.  I used to just short the shack end of the coax for that purpose, but one time I had forgotten to do that until I remembered

Speaking of looking ahead, some time ago (year or more?) Wayne did solicit input from the email list as to what we’d like to see in a rig that would compete in the KX2 - KX3 market space. That suggests to me that potentially a KX4 (or something of that ilk) is at least being thought about.

Of course a K3 can generate bad FT8 signals if you drive the audio hard enough, but I guarantee that it can be easily done with a TS-590S as well.  You just didn't do it right. Dave   AB7E On 7/8/2023 7:22 AM, Andy Durbin wrote: Just a few comments on dirty signals and the rigs that can,
