[HCARC] RF Grounding Counterpoise

[Gary and Arlene Johnson]

Interestingly this comes from Hamuniverse where other articles have been recommended to me originated.  One of the hardest parts of being a NEWBIE with all of the internet to "answer your questions" is separating the wheat from the chaff.  Unfortunately I cannot be like my sheep or chickens and just eat the wheat and the chaff and have the insides do the separating if you catch my drift.  One posting on Hamuniverse is a good one, another is "pure sheep separates" - the trick is deciding which is which.  I do not envy new Hams who don't have a knowledgeable club and Reflector to fall back one.

Unfortunately it's not just Amateur Radio that has a lot of posted drivel these days.  Our Government seems to be pretty good at it too.

Thanks for the response - sure am glad I didn't go out and buy a bunch of wire.  :-)  And there are many better things to do with the wire I have.
