[Elecraft] K3/100 -Second floor- no RF ground ??

[Merv Schweigert]

I operated inside a condo on the beach for several years with a 44 foot 
wire center fed
with ladder line antenna,  fed with a Johnson matchbox,  I had some RF 
on some bands, so I
strung a wire around the edge of the room on the floor cut for the band 
that had the
worst RF.  Connected it to the ground on the tuner,  all was cured. 
I tried the MFJ ground box and found no use for it with the wire cut for 
the band in
question.  If you have RF on more than one band a piece of multi strand 
wire cut for
different bands works well.
