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
