hi JMM - have you changed out your spark plug wires???
the reason you are getting the static is because you picking up RF energy that is being introduced into the antenna lead. since it is not probably being picked from the portion that is sticking out of the car, you will have to look at the cable run that the lead is in. now, chances are, you pick up the unusual stuff when it goes by a area of higher current applications, such as power windows. you might hear a compliant about every time they roll down the passenger's side window, they hear it in the radio, but no other windows will cause it.
the key to where to look is your 4 mph symptom. as the rpm's pick up, if it is the spark plugs wires, you will hear a repeating sound, but if you alternator suppression circuit is shot, you will hear a buzzing sound, since that is the type of static it produces.
as a quick check. pop off the fan belt, and start the car and rev it up. if you don't have any static on your radio, you just cut your problem solving time a lot.
best of luck.
