[TowerTalk] SHACK LOCATION VS GROUNDING & RFI

[N0OEL at aol.com]

"would say the most important thing in deciding where to
put your  station is where you would enjoy it most. Second,
you have to consider where  the antennas are located and what
the antennas are. You also have to consider  getting wires
and cables safely into the room"

I couldnt agree with  that statement more!    I have been in both places and 
it doesnt  make a lot of difference.    I miss the view and sunshine from  the 
second floor but appreciate my 
location closer to running grounds.   
 
Put in several ground rods on your shack on one ground heavy duty
ground wire (#4) and whatever is necessary on your tower/whatever  wherever 
you go.
 
I look up to barely see the sky from my basement shack!   But its  away from 
the crowd
and thats even "better protection" in the basement!
