Hello all,

Wondering if one of the techxperts folk on the group could please give
me an explanation (in layman's terms) of what grounding actually IS
and what is its importance to ensuring good reception for a Hamster
such as myself....

Kind Regards,
Brian Anasta


As far as antennas go, you want a good earth ground.

Nothing beats an 8 ft. copper rod driven into good conducting ground.
