Grounding/Ungrounding....

Suggestion: Disconnect/unplug everything often and pull to the center of the room!

Everything means: rotator controls (A/C and control cables), remote switches (again A/C and control cables), modems, phone lines (Oh gosh, for sure), Printers (etc), BEVERAGES, keyers, and ALL GROUNDS for sure.

It's not that lightning or static charges will 'get your equipment'; it's 'when it will get your equipment'.

Bond equipment together is fine and recommended, but NOT to a ground rod (s). I know little about life perhaps, but suggesting any ground path directly or remotely through equipment is just asking for problems.

We all need to know more about RF grounding and A/C grounding, hi.

Now the flames.. they are authorized, but this bloat is following his own advice, perhaps a bit late, but I have learned the hard way.

FWIW, Lynn W4NL
