Not all pipes burst, not all states have freeze, and nobody cares about
you playing in the snow.

The likelihood of one individual being correct increases in a direct
proportion to the intensity with which others try to prove him wrong

Frequency has no relation to the success or failure of lightning
protection devices in the manner you implied.

You

can verify this with your local power company

or public library.

Your posts are no more pertinent than any others,,,less, in fact, due to
your inability to separate your personal issues and feelings from any
relative discussion, illustrating you have yet to communicate
effectively. You are not above any other,,,you have the option of
tossing your ideas about and it's up to us, not you, to believe you or
not. After being proved incorrect so many times, coupled with your usual
hostility, one can plainly see supporters of your behavior appear to be
limited to N3CVJ, N7VCF, KC8LDO, WA3MOJ, and N8WWM.

Frank cannot be bothered to learn why things work. He did
not even know about insufficient conductivity in frozen
earth! That is basic stuff that first requires learning a
little theory - or have some experience. Polyphaser's highly
regarded application notes have complete practical value to
people who actually do this stuff. But Frank did not say it
first - therefore it must be wrong.

In the meantime, ignore that nonsense he posts about star
grounds. What he posts is not accurate, not relevant, and is
the biggest load of technical crappola I have ever seen.
Frank's brain must be leaking again.

Isolated or floating power supply? Everyone should be
laughing at that nonsense! When did one need a power supply
to get effective earthing? In the tradition of 'Frank type'
posting - he babbles too much BS to no logical conclusion.
Must have forgotten to take his medication.

Wow. Its really is easy to post insults, just like Frank.
He taught he how must fun it is to be superior to everyone
else. Now if I could just forget to post accurate facts and
not post relevant citations! Then I too could be just like
Frank.

In the meantime, ignore the Frank nonsense. Learn from
industry benchmarks such as Polyphaser.

Lot's of theory but no practical value. The use of a star ground
("Single Point Ground") system for lightning protection of the
whole building + tower requires the use of an isolated or
'floating' power supply; i.e, an isolated generator or
dedicated pole-pig. Marconi discovered this a century ago. And for
the record, all high-tech gizmos designed to compensate for the
inductive reactance of power and transmission lines during a
lightning strike have failed miserably because lightning has no
fixed frequency. You can verify this with your local power
company or public library.

Frank does not even know a simple earthing concept. Frozen
ground is not conductive. Earthing is installed below the
frost line for obvious reasons. Had he known this simple
fact and not spent so much times insulting others, then he
would not have hyped so much venom about freezing water in
pipes. Earthing below the frost line. What does that have to
do with frozen pipes? This is about CB station grounding. So
why is Frank suddenly talking about plumbing?
