[TowerTalk] RF in my laptop

[Bryan Swadener]

John,
 
Is the shield of your feedline bonded to ground at the point of entry into your house, as NEC and NFPA require? And, is that ground rod also bonded to your electrical service entrance ground rod as NEC requires?
 
Magically, almost ALL my issues with RFI disappeared when I complied as above. I run several antennas at varying distances from my shack (including a half wavelength 20m vertical on the roof, and a 40m dipole that runs directly above my shack.  And, I run as much as 1KW output.
