Sean, In the new ARRL book on Grounding and Bonding, you will find me credited as a contributor, you will find my methods cited, and you will find a link to the slides for my tutorial on the topic. T
Hi Jim, I was hoping you might respond. I've read a lot of your slides and papers and have started sharing them out (along with W1HIS's article on chokes) when people ask about RFI. I saw that book,
