Right....currently am using a pair of high value resistors to drain static
to ground (8 ft ground rod BTW) and to ensure some semblance of ground
potential.
Will wind or buy a pair of hi mu inductors to replace the resistors at a
later date...and plan also in putting in a knife switch to ground the
feeders and loop directly to same ground rod...or rods.
