Forget about balun's and other widgetry!

Get a virtual earth! They are easy to build for all ham bands!

It's basically a phasing unit for the earth connection which can null the
voltage on the earth at the RF Rig!

If you don't want to build one, MFJ sells one!

They're great if you like your antenna two feet above ground.

The way you "null out the voltage" is by making that wire resonant and
resonant wires love to radiate. Nobody would intentionally install an
antenna below knee level, but that's what you're doing.

Busted any pileups lately? :-)
