The biggest problem is how far is your radio from the antenna. If the
antenna runs right over the roof and you are on the 2nd floor with the
antenna 10 feet away, you are going to have problems. If the antenna is in
a tree 50 feet from the house, you will be fine.

rod to the radio room to a brass buss and have all equipment grounded. It
has been that way since 1995 and never have had a problem with RFI in the
shack.
