I think K1MK may have been closest to the mark with the mention of St. Elmo's Fire. I found the following explanation on the Scientific American web site. Elsewhere, I think I have also read that it

There's a lot of this kind of energy floating around right now. In all likelihood, this shift in energy balance is being initiated here in the heart of YCCC territory, where we've been working on so

electrostatic charging by the wind blown raindrops? This is a commonly known phenomenon. (called p-static in the aviation area).. Off hand, I don't know if your setup could hold enough charge to allo

This happened one time when I was going to school at Ohio State. I don't recall exactly how he discovered it, but N8SM was drawing 3 to 4" long arcs off the feedline of W8LT's 600' long wire. As I re
