Static from Antenna

Hi All,

I have a loop antenna mounted outside. Its been very cold and dry these days. Today morning, and multiple times after, i received a static shock when i touched the coax to connect it to the RSP2. Should i be concerned ? Do i have to add some protection from antenna to receiver?

thanks much!

Hi All, new user but have been in the SDR field for two years now. I started with RTL-SDR and now an SDRPlay. RTL-SDR was easier to use and cheaper on the pocket.
