[SixClub] Station grounding

[Gabriel Sierra]

Interesting!

Grounding is an often overlooked topic and considered
something simple. And it might be on the surface, but
there is much more to it! Beside pro audio, I work as
an instrumentation technician for UCC
(http://www.uccaribe.edu). A big part of my job is
getting rid of noises in electrophysiological
experiment setups. As you might imagine, grounding is
everything in such realm. I have applied many things I
have learned there to ham radio. I though I had
mastered the techniques until my boss gave me a book
as a gift. The book is "Grounding and Shielding
Techniques in Instrumentation" 3rd edition by Ralph
Morrison ISBN 0-471-83805-5. Boy, I was just
scratching the surface!

Take Care,

Gabriel
