After reading the archive regarding 2nd floor grounding, a couple of
questions.

Outside of sufficiently thick gauge wire and proper depth to grounding
rod. Are there any ELECTRICAL (nonRF) issues left to resolve for a 2nd
floor ground?

Several articles referred to long grounding lines being close to 1/4
wavelength as being a problem. Is this eliminated with balanced

feedline?

Thanks,

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!

Ok Dan, How about a follow up and give us a link or a schematic to build
one?
