[ARC5] Stinson on grounding.

[Leslie Smith]

  Hello Jay (and the group)
  When I read your postings to this list your latest "text" appears in
Arial font and earlier "text" appears in Courier (or similar).
  The two distinct fonts make the task of "untangling" early and late
posting much easier than postings that use "one font for all".


  How do you effect this small miracle?  I'd like to try it at my
place.

Folks,

 3M makes a number of different types of aluminum and copper tapes that
would do well here. I use 1" wide copper peel back tape at work as RF
Band-aids to plug up leakage paths in high dynamic range microwave
down-converters.

 On ebay someone has a number of lengths of 1/2" braid grounding strap.
Don't know the numbers but should be easy to search for.

  Hello Mark,
  Dave Stinson says that a good grounding system is essential for a
  command rig to work effectively.
  As I recall (he will correct me if I'm wrong, I hope) the grounding
  may be as simple as aluminium foil "tacked" onto a ply-wood backing.
  Then mount/ground the set-up on the foil "ground".

  Good to hear your set is working!
