[Elecraft] [OT] Grounding Antenna when not in use

Hello:

After I get my kit built, I¹ll be operating with a windom antenna on 40 ­
10.  It¹s been suggested that when I¹m not operating, I should disconnect
the rig from the antenna and run the antenna to ground.  I¹ve never done
that in the past when I operated with wire antennas or my vertical, but it
does make sense as a safety precaution.  I¹m wondering if anyone has any
suggestions about the best way(s) to do that?  Are there any pieces of
equipment that you would recommend to simplify the process?  Any help would
be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

73,
