Hello to all,

I am in the process of moving my station to another room in the house.  My
experience with the OMNI-VI is that it is very touchy about stray RF.
My equipment is OMNI-VI+, Hercules II, Titan, and 238 tuner.
I have installed three eight foot ground rods a couple feet apart right out
side the shack.  I have installed a Number 2 copper wire from the ground
rods to the antenna tuner ground screw.  I now intent to connect each of the
pieces of equipment to the tuner ground screw with a separate copper strap.
I am looking for any comments and advice about whether this is the way to do
it or not.
thanks and 73,
Ken
