All this talk about RFI, antennas, feedlines, mics, ungrounded shields 
and what the real underlying problem had been...............

I check all antenna connections and ground connections each fall. This 
includes the service ground(s), antenna grounds, and required bondings 
connecting these systems.

I won't go into details on the "how-to-do-it" - rather, I will leave 
that to the relector's abundant experts on all subjects.

Suffice to say, a poor ground can not only spoil your ham radio 
experience - it can burn your house down. Note that the NEC requires 
that ALL grounds be bonded together - antenna and power.
