[TenTec] If you ground it - it will come!

Grounding/Ungrounding....

Suggestion: Disconnect/unplug everything often and pull to the center of the 
room!

Everything means: rotator controls (A/C and control cables), remote switches 
(again A/C and control cables), modems, phone lines (Oh gosh, for sure), 
Printers (etc), BEVERAGES, keyers, and ALL GROUNDS for sure.

It's not that lightning or static charges will 'get your equipment'; it's 
'when it will get your equipment'.

Bond equipment together is fine and recommended, but NOT to a ground rod 
(s).  I know little about life perhaps, but suggesting any ground path 
directly or remotely through equipment is just asking for problems.

We all need to know more about RF grounding and A/C grounding, hi.

Now the flames.. they are authorized, but this bloat is following his own 
advice, perhaps a bit late, but I have learned the hard way.

FWIW, Lynn W4NL
