[Boatanchors] Question

[Mike WE0H]

The LF guys have mentioned this before. I am using a toroid transformer 
coupling to my 600 meter vertical so it is DC grounded through the 
secondary winding (12g copper) similar to the choke bleeders but using 
12g wire for the inductor. I have not heard, felt or seen any static 
charge on this antenna. So far so good...hi hi...But many LF guys use 
the sparkplugs. I just haven't tried it yet.
