[ARC5] Ant. Tuning Series Caps - Trials and Surprises

[Dennis DuVall]

Good question.  With a voltage fed antenna connected to a low power radio like a Command Set, GRC-9, SCR-284, etc. the ground currents will be very small and I have found that my normal shack ground system is more than sufficient.
likewise in a mobile situation the body of the vehicle gives more than satisfactory results, i.e., not enough "stray RF" floating around to cause feedback or other problems.  High power is another matter of, course, and I run a back 
yard (garden in your parlance) full of radials and ground stakes under my end fed "Inverted L” wire that I use when running a KW.
