[1000mp] RE: Quadra Problem..

An 8 ft ground rod is a good electrical ground but for RF you need
shielding.  Try laying a couple of resonant radial wires connected to that
ground rod and also use good wide braid from the equipment to a common
ground point.  Don't "daisy chain" the gear together with ground wire.
