Gary's advice is excellent.  I live in a very dry climate and in the 
summer I can draw a hear the snapping of an arc from the center 
conductor to the ring of a PL-259 connector connected to an unused 
vertical antenna.  Use some means of continuously draining the ESD 
voltage from your coax.  ICE makes a lightning suppressor that does 
this or you can configure an RF choke or even a simple non-inductive 
resistor from the center conductor to ground to drain off the charge.
