Rainy or even damp weather causes loud static and sometimes kills the dial tone altogether. When it dries out, everything's OK.
1) I tested a phone on the outside interface box. It checked out OK. Nice clear dial tone, no static.2) Tested several (but not all) jacks in the house. All of those tested revealed the loud static.
3) I have a service contract with telco, even for the inside wiring, but they cannot get to the house until next week.The problem's obviously inside, but can you suggest a specific location. Thanks, M
