After about one half
hour of flight, I frequently get static on VHF comm channels. It usually
grows with time until radio reception is marginal. Strangely, the static
isn't a problem in the terminal area at the end of a flight. My antenna is
a dipole, mounted inside the vertical fin. I suspect that a static charge
on the skin may be responsible. The skin surfaces are not grounded.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how have you solved it?
Thanks,
Naf
