[Orion] Re: Shack grounds

[Lawrence Stoskopf]

Not sure how this all got going on the Orion reflector, but I've had no 
problems with RF in the rig.  But my shack is 80 inches by 80 inches by 92 
inches high.  Well away from anything else.  Is totally enclosed with 10 ga. 
steel overlaping 4 inches at the joints.  There are two large copper wires 
CAD welded  on each side to the plates and those CAD welded to ground rods 
immediately below the steel plates.  The station buss connection to the 
outsideruns through a CAD welded connection through a steel plate and down 
to a ground.  AC lines come in through a steel box also screwed to the steel 
plates.  Power ines come in underground.  Will get the SteppIR cable tied in 
as soon as I figure how to get 24 wires bypassed to ground.  Best $1200 I've 
spent.  Painted battleship grey. 

No problem at all with the ORION, Strange that I have to have the door open 
to use the cell phone!
