Maybe the reverse of that. Brightening indicates less signal in analog TV.

Hasn't tornado winds been documented to generate broadband RF noise
primarily in the VHF region?
Yes, and I've seen it in person. Also the other phenomena in santa
ana winds, in Costa Mesa and Anaheim CA.
At times, the static was so bad that I couldn't hear the high profile

I'm experiencing high static levels in our repeater that appears to develop ahead and during serve weather outbreaks. Other times it seems perfectly fine.
Could be precipitation static? Wind bouncing the antenna around? Internal grounding problems?

Maybe static is the wrong word... Its more like loss of signal, like mobiles becoming HT's and HT's without antennas!
Like the receiver wants to hide ... (Hi, Hi)
My only concern about wind vibration is that the antenna hasn't been played with. We have

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.
