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, Ti

Hi All Ken/W7TS 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 tune

Ken, The main thing to avoid RF in the shack is to make sure the distance to the outside earthing point is not a quarter wave total of conductor on any band you use. If so, it makes a high impedance

I concur with most of what has been said. My main point would be to use buss bars of some type (flat bar/plate or copper pipe as someone mentioned .. I use plate) rather than using the 238 as a conne

Well, I kinda gotta dis-agree. Seems that's what I do best lately. I don't have a station RF ground. My station is on the 2nd floor of a 2 story wooden frame house. Actually it's in the middle of the

Because of skin effect, I figure surface area of the conductor will trump the heft of most copper bus bars sold. Shipping of long bus bars can be expensive as well. The relatively large surface area

I disagree. 1. The NEC is based on presuming that the MINIMUM ground conductor be only large enough to carry any current the hot conductor would and so trip the protection with damaging the ground co

The whole question here about grounding is really one of expense. Clearly the best setup is to ground everything together from the tower to the shack with 0 gauge or larger wire. All bonds must prese

Good luck with pursuing that argument in the court system. However correct you may believe that you are, if you have a conflict with this involving your local codes, you will be amazed at how quickly

When the "accepted rules of good engineering practice" are the CAUSE of injuries to dairy cows those rules need correcting. Ronk among others makes a ground isolating device for just such occasions.
