Topband: RFI - and lots of it

[Jim Murray]

I have and electrician coming next week who says he will check things out and first of all ground the breaker panel to two ground rods 7 feet apart.  I thought the grounding was  put at the meter but he says they don't do that anymore.  I think the old meter, before we had the new one put in had a ground rod beneath it but nothing now.  The only ground I could find to the panel is a skimpy wire going to a water line.  All of which looks corroded etc..  I know many dollars were spent on renovation and restoration of this place but I'm afraid to much emphasis was placed on cosmetic and not enough on electrical as I look more closely, pretty depressing.  Well, at least it will be safer.  Can't thank the forum members enough.Regards,jim/k2hn
