Why not prevent the static buildup in the first place? I use 33K resistors
from each wire to ground. Schematic is at
http://www.w0btu.com/Beverage_antennas.html .

The components in parallel with the 33K resistors are 90 volt gas discharge
tubes, and the resistors are to prolong the life of those GDTs.
