I have found this to be an easy, inexpensive and effective solution to 
RF problems in the shack.
I cannot understand why anyone would spend money on a "tunable ground" 
which needs to be
adjusted when you change bands.
Half as much money spent buying a spool of wire and a box of crimp lugs 
gives you a system
that needs no tuning when changing bands, and enough wire left over for 
a few new antennas.
