Ah Reid,
EXCELLENT point! Incidentally, those many years ago in 9M2 with my 400 foot
long wire, I had nothing but the rig Pi Net which was the custom then. And
no knowledge of keeping the wire out of shack, and proper RF grounding, such
as counterpoise. I could load the wire with Pi Net , but still had RF on
metal case of Heath xmtr.
I take my hat off to folks who enjoy conductive earth, we have rock 18
inches down, Not individual rocks, but often one big slab of rock for the
lot width!
Thanks for the good suggestion to get the wire radiator out of shack and
tune remotely.
73,
Stuart K5KVH
