[BC] Transmitter Safety

[Ronald J. Dot'o Sr.]

I've read that during the WW II era that "Precipitation Static" from 
snow was a big problem for aircraft MW and HF equipment in aircraft 
making reception all but impossible at times in northern latitudes 
from the dry snow brushing against the longwire antennas in the 
slipstream.  Things got a lot better when VHF came into use for aircraft.

I have seen some mean static buildup during wind storms and snow storms,
too.
