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
