Hello,

Can anyone offer me a little advice on the grouding of my SW
receivers? I have a couple old Soviet SW radios, a Sony SW77,
Sangean ATS909 and a new Degen 1102. I want to make a ground
that will work well with any of these receivers. What material
is best? Copper, Iron, Steel etc? A rod or plate? What is the
best type of cable to use as a lead-in to the receiver? Is there
an ideal length? Depending on where the radio will be the lenght
could be anything from 5ft to 30ft.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Alan
