Re: [HCDX] Radio Noise from a Hail Storm?

[Mark Hattam <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Also ... take precautions ... we were using beverage antennas in 
Sheigra, and during a hailstorm we were hearing "clicks" in the room. 
We were having a coffee break due to the high noise floor. Looked at 
where the clicks were coming from, and there were sparks jumping from 
the aerial connectors to the receivers' earthed cases.
