Christmas Day 1967.
Snow falling heavily.
I had a 2 element Cubical Quad at 50 feet.

I heard a loud CRACK. I kept occurring. Like an ignorant operator I had not
grounded the unused feed lines. I finally realized that the coax was arcing at

There has been very low humidity this week, and I have had some shocks at
home.
When we got lots of static discharge shocks after walking on my
mother-in-law's carpet, I put some 1 Meg Ohm resistors under the light
switch cover screw for her to touch in the winter before the switch. Silly
idea bu
Try a humidifier to reduce the static.

The real issue here is the lack of household humidity. A humidifier is
probably in the real fix. Several hours of a near-boiling pan of water on
the kitchen stove would likely be enlightening.
Or, get a "real' anti-static (desk size) work mat with wrist strap. I have

Chuck,
I'm also in an area of low humidity and such static discharges
are a problem. I have everything grounded together and a small
patch of aluminum foil connected with a 1 megohn resistor. After
a trip across the carpet and before touching anything, I touch the
foil. The resistor prevents a

Background: I keep my K-Pod on my operating desk just to the right of the
shack computer mouse. I've noticed when I walk over to the desk and grab
the mouse, the K-Pod will be
