[TenTec] Ten Tec 238A settings?

[Denton]

Right....currently am using a pair of high value resistors to drain static 
to ground (8 ft ground rod BTW) and to ensure some semblance of ground 
potential.
Will wind or buy a pair of hi mu inductors to replace the resistors at a 
later date...and plan also in putting in a knife switch to ground the 
feeders and loop directly to same ground rod...or rods.
