I am setting up my new Butternut HF9V ground mounted vertical on the side of
my house. Right next to the antenna I have driven a ground rod that I will
attach my antenna and radials to. The question I have is will it be OK to
attach a ground wire from my shack to it too, or should I drive another
ground rod that is separate for my shack only? If I drive another rod it
will be about 8 feet away from my antennas ground rod. I have installed my
vertical on a tilt over bracket I bought from Gap so I can hide the vertical
when not in use because of restrictions in my subdivision.
Another question I have, and am concerned about is that my vertical will be
about 25 feet away from my
neighbors Dish Network satellite dish. Is that going to be a problem for me
and will TVI cause problems? If so what can I do
about it on my end? Thanks for your help and opinions.
