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.



and bonded from their to the electrical service grounding electrode
system with a number four or larger conductor.
