I was flying from Jacksonville, Fl to Detroit, Mi. It was a nice flight from Jacksonville to the southern part of Ohio at 8,000 on top. There was a cold front moving ESE, running SW to NE across the middle of the state of Ohio. The tops got higher and the temps got lower. I had to go down to 4,000. I picked up carb ice, the pitot tube froze and there was static. The static was bad. I had to turn off my Telex ANR because of loud crackling sounds and my autopilot stopped working. I have no static wicks. Builders put static wicks on planes but no one has ever been able to answer the question when I ask: Is it speed that necessitates the wicks? And, If so, how many do you need for what speed? -- Lorn H.
