Hi,
I am wondering what limitations are on the length of the ground wire
lead from the transformer/balun to the ground rod? Thanks,
It may do undesirable things, like add directivity.
I was messing around and found that putting my 9:1 transformer at various
lengths along the antenna away from the ground rod, I was able to cancel
out the neighbor's light dimmers, but only on one band at a time. That
meant that it was also nulling any radio stations in that direction,
too.

Yes, very right!
