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.

Ahhhhhhh...success! Ran 600ohm feeders all the way to the tuner in the
shack! Since there is no wiring in that part of the ceiling, I just
screwed
some cuphooks on the ceiling and suspended the feeders in them.
Preliminary
tuning is nice and smooth.
I did that once.....after $23,000 worth of fire damage from a direct
lightning strike that followed the open wire feeder into the house.
Be careful and take precautions. 73
