Peter, You mention use of braid to the ground rod outside. That's OK if the braid is encased within some sort of weather-proof cover, such as shrink tubing. The problem with braid that is exposed to

Peter, Good question. Answer: it depends. If you can connect a DMM or VOM between the shack ground bus and the ground rod outside, TURN OFF ALL POWER to the connected equipment and take a reading. If

David, In a word - yes. If the LEDs each have a switching power supply/driver, then changing to plain incandescent or halogen bulbs would eliminate all of those RFI generators. 73, Dale WA9ENA --Orig
