Hi Mauri and Tom,
first of all, thanks for replying to my problem Mauri... however, your
comments refer to just one of my questions... aditionally to Tom's
convincing argument I'd prefer low-Z switching to continue using my present
hardware (transformers, switches etc.)

my problem is "keeping grounds isolated"... when feeding several Beverages
from a common point, is it sufficient just to use different ground rods????
if so, how far should these ground rods be kept apart from each other to
avoid the T-effect???
are there perhaps alternative methods of grounding (e.g. radials - don't
they couple even more?)...
any help would be highly appreciated...
regards
Uli, DJ2YA
