All correct. What's your point, Dave?

Again, absolutely correct. And again, what's your point?

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?

Thats true, did he say otherwise? Sorry I missed that if he did.

In the first manner, you're always around, Dave. You made a post the
other day concerning an auction by your pal in Michigan.
What a card, you are Dave. Your pious act of expecting anyone to believe
that you are no longer present but "just happened to be in the 'hood the
moment you were mentioned" is laughable...look.."hahahah"!




and you're STILL obsessing with me.



That you consider references of your hypocrisy flattering, is exactly
what one expects.

What you choose to do or don't do is no longer any consequence.

I merely point to your akc-compadre KC8LDO who claimed logic AND common
sense is nothing but a system of personal beliefs, often incorrect.

Lookie, your deficit has you so downtrodden that you are hallucinating
you are being imitated,,,and loookie to who you blame,,,,LOL!

You and your little group of losers are the ONLY ones responsible for
harboring an unhealthy predilection toward posters activities outside
this newsgroup. You're just all messed up, Dave.
