[Antennas] static discharge from antenna

[Les Severson]

Hi all,
I want to thank all who responded to my question regarding draining off
antenna static.
The majority concenses is to try a high resistance to ground off each
leg of the
balanced feed line with non-inductive resistors.  (An rf choke MAY be
reactive at some frequencies)      For those who asked,.... the tuner is
the 250w Johnson Matchbox, link coupling with no dc path to ground.   A
torroid balun would have a path to ground,  but I am one who won't give
up my link coupling for a torroid... hi    A good suggestion was use
insulated wire but that would add weight and would cost more than a
couple resistors.  The antenna and tuner work so well on all my favorite
bands that I don't
want to make any drastic changes..     A LOT of good suggestions !
Tnx "muchly" to:  Ron W2WU,  Joe WB9SBD,  Eric WB6FLY,  Dan N7BHB,
Mike AC5P,  Clete WB2CPN,  Bill W9ERG,  and Dave W1MCE  !
