Folks:
Judging from what I have seen and read, from the works of Jim at Audio
Systems group, I put him at a similar Level on matters relating to EMI,
RFI, grounding, and a number of other topics, as our wonder ful master of
the written and technical words on Antennas, Mr LB Cebik. I did some
internet searching on Grounding and came up with a lot of comprehensive
information and manuals, many of Military origin. I copy the URLs here for
your reference, and as a possible insomnia cure with late night reading....
enjoy..
