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?

Doing so would act as a static drain, but may not be effective at
preventing damage to whatever your antenna is connected to if there
should be a nearby lightning strike.

A better approach for that might be to disconnect the antenna from
your equipment during lightning conditions, and connect it a good, low-
Z, earth ground.
