So it would also make sense that a lot of antennas grouped together
might also get benefit from this action as long as one isn't the
obviously taller one?

It does leak charge. You can actually put a mA meter in line with one

and all the current goes away for awhile. I have heard the corona
discharge build off of pointy things when on a mountain top comm site
during a storm. I got stranded up there for a while when a coworker
took the truck and made some kind of part/food/poop run. I
crouched/balanced on top of a playmate lunch box during the worst of it.
You could watch the strikes in the valley floor and they were coming
right at me. But nothing hit the site. Storm passed over and coworker
came back.

It's supposed to prevent lightning strikes. Whether or how it works is
beyond me. Some kind of space magic I assume.

Can anyone tell me what the heck this antenna is?
