[ADXA] sleet/ice and static buildup on antennas

[Jussi Eloranta]

Hi,

Charles (KF5TL) mentioned that static electricity can build up in 
antennas during heavy ice/sleet storms. He and EJ also observed this 
same thing last night. So, I will definitely be disconnecting my 
antennas during future sleet/ice storms. Ice particles hitting metal 
surfaces can produce even kV charges (low current of curse) but enough 
to damage radios. Just wanted to let everyone know that there is this 
kind of possibility - be careful.
