Topband: FCP question

[D Rodman MD]

Just came in from installing the inverted L and FCP.  Tuned it with an SWR box at
the antenna but have no connectors to attach coax so have to wait a day or so to
put it on the air.  This is an 80m version.  Pretty much a whole day project. 
Reading I have done say to ground the system 5-6 feet from the feed point.  Not
sure exactly what this means.  What did others do???  Thanks.
