FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

"The Art of Grounding" Takes Center Stage On Friday, February 17th 

As The Fair Lawn Amateur Radio Club's 2023 Kawfee Tawk Series Continues

 

One of the mistakes that we as amateur radio operators make is connecting an
antenna to our radio and then just turn it on.  While that may seem totally
harmless; it isn't necessarily so.  That properly grounded antenna, even
with a high-quality coaxial surge protector, can bridge the radio across two
grounds.  We'll discuss how this can happen and what's necessary to fix it.

 

Proper grounding is critical to good operating and often overlooked. This
month we will learn how to improve our learning curve in this topic as Ron
Block NR2B takes us through the basics.

 

This video program will be held on Friday, February 17th , 2023 beginning at
7:30 PM EST.  

 

The program will last about an hour and will include an opportunity for
questions and comments. The link to the presentation can be found here:
