[TowerTalk] P.S.: Surge supression

["Rob Atkinson, K5UJ" <k5uj@hotmail.com>]

<<<The [surge supressor] in the station should be grounded to the single 
point station ground
panel, as well as to the home safety ground.>>>

<<This sounds like a great way to turn your house wiring dc safety ground 
into a giant antenna by transferring rf from the shack rf ground to the 3rd 
wire on the house service lines.>>

p.s.  It also sounds like a way to set up a nice ground loop in your station 
so RF can get into places you don't want it.
