Hi, Jim:

  There is much oral history, tradition, and oral claims of equipment 
requirements at the DARA clubhouse.
I want to reduce these oral legends to the written word.
I was an Industrial electrician and have experience with (DC to 60 Hz) 
grounding, bonding, and independent-ground circuits.
As a Radio Amateur, I have a little experience with RF grounding and 
bonding.

  If you do another presentation, please announce on this email list.
:-)

Chuck
