[R-390] Grounds

[Flowertime01 at wmconnect.com]

Wi,

Better to think of your self as 1/4 wave high.

Get a 1/4 wave of wire between the receiver and the real earth down stairs.
Then get another 1/4 wave of wire between the receiver and what ever you 
think is your antenna over your head.

You can need not run the wire straight. But try not to put any loops in it 
that would short out some length of it. Unless you are using the loop to 
tune the length of the wire.

Those ugly 1/4 wave really limit how far and how fast you can tune the R390 
across 30 Mhz and still be somewhat resonant with the feed line. On the 
transmit side you would like to think ahead.

Roger.
