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

[David Christ]

A most interesting statement.  Here in the upper midwest where we 
have plenty of summer lightning, it was quite common to install 
lightning rods on barns and houses.  The wire they used for grounding 
the rods was loosely braided copper about 3/4 inch in diameter.  Go 
figure.
