I am using an Orion to drive my Drake L-4B, and I operate mostly on 40
meters. My antenna is a 110 feet long dipole, center-fed with open-wire feed line, and elevated about 30 feet with the support for one end attached to the house chimney. My shack is in a 2nd floor bedroom, and the circuit breaker panel is located in the basement at the opposite end of the house. The house has a brick exterior, and one end of the antenna is only a few feet from the shack. When I operate high power on 40 meters, a GFCI equipped circuit breaker, which is located in the house circuit breaker panel, moves to the open position. None of my station equipment is attached to this breaker; this particular breaker powers four outlets in the garage and two outlets on the house exterior. None of these outlets are normally in use. Is it possible (or even desirable) to install one or more bypass capacitors inside the breaker panel, and immediately adjacent to, the ground-fault circuit interrupter? If so, what type of capacitor is recommended? John, N9JG |
