Station With Center-Fed Dipole - Best Grounding Technique?

Do you use a balun at the antenna
feedpoint? How do you tune the inverted-V?
Good RF chokes on the coax at the feedpoint and at the point of entry
would go a long way to eliminating any "RF in the shack" problems. A
couple 2.4" 31 mix cores with half a dozen turns on them, for instance.
Whether the V is tuned or not won't have any effect on RFI or grounding.
A BalUn would help a lot.
Since we are sticklers for the NEC, Homey needs a #6 wire from where the
transmission line enters the dwelling to an 8' copper clad rod driven
into the earth, as close as practicable.
