It seems every time there's distant lightning and i go to disconnect the dipole
i get this nasty discharge when i touch the pl-259. Im concerned it will
eventually damage my tuner and or radio. The antenna is not dc grounded like my
beam or vertical are. It is a ladder line fed antenna terminating into a 4:1
balun outside the shack and a 3' run of rg8 coax to the tuner. How can i bleed
this static off? I heard from a ham friend the jump a 2.5 MH RF choke between
the two terminals of the 4:1 balun where the ladder line connects.Any advice
would be greatly apreciated.73
