While visiting Chuck, WA1EKV and looking at his 100 Ft tower on a hill with a comb of sharp points on top and 3 large ground leads at the bottom, he told me that he once heard hissing from the top of

Just a follow up point. If the cloud and the comb of points at the top is able to source 300 Amps via something like corona, it _might_ need the support of a low impedance to ground in the ground sys

Hi Jerry, I really do understand where you are coming from. I'm just trying to understand why it would be a popular statement among Hams. <<<Your example describes the cloud as already over the tower

Funny how some simple things are forgotten. I have two "grounding straps" that came with solid state components. The instructions told me to wrap the velcro band around my wrist, with the metal plate

I would make the earth connection when not using the switch. The Ameritron 5 pole switch that I use has an option to ground each pole when not energized. All you do is solder a jumper for each relay.

I don't see a significant difference except the obvious one of scale. Excess electrons will travel to where there is a home for them, one way or another... a (relative) few at a time, as they accrue.
