[TenTec] RFI Issues and other station high voltage precautions

[Richards]

That is CORRECT !         Although...    HE DOES NOW !!

His story came up during a similar conversation on a short wave radio 
discussion group, and similar to the original inquiry on this thread, 
his listening post is located on the second floor, and he was asking how 
to protect it from lightning, without his ground wire becoming an 
ersatz, unintended antenna.

I am lucky my shack is on the lowest floor and the ground (i.e. dirt) is 
located immediately outside the wall behind the equipment, so it is only 
a couple of feet from the buss bar to the ground stake.   I am confident 
that helps keep stray RF out of the shack, and assure an effective 
safety ground.
