[ARC5] Stinson on grounding.

 Don't forget that the braid peeled from old coax can be pressed into use.

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 Bandaids to plug up  
leakage paths in high dynamic range microwave downconverters. 
 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!
