Ken
Check out this very useful site: http://www.qsl.net/g4vgo/ "Ken" wrote in message ... I will be running 28 ga. magnet wire along (& around) a 350 ft. kite line tied to a windborne kite -- for 160M work. The other leg will be bare copper wire that runs 50 ft to the ocean. I am not sure if this is a longwire antenna with counterpoise or a tilted vertical with ground plane. Anyhow, I have been told that the wind will cause static charge to build on the magnet wire and that a path to ground must be provided. 1) Is this true? 2) If it is true, would the problem be solved with, say, a 1,000 ohm resistor between the longwire and and sal****er ground leads at my tuner?
