Default static high voltages of antenna protect


"tzitzikas" wrote in message
...

i have an inverted L antenna for medium waves. i would like to ground
the static high voltages. the antenna has static high voltages when the
weather is not good.
i am looking for a easy system to ground this voltages and to protect
my transmitter and the tuning circuit.
i had seen a schematic with carbon resistance about 10kohm which is
connected between the antenna and ground. this solution is ok? do you
have to propose any idea?

Yes, fine as long as you don't connect it somewhere where the system
impedance is high (like the end of the radiator!). Surprising you should
ask something so basic when you claim to run an engineering 'corporation'
