Yeah, but it's only a partial crock of ****. The rain gutters or wire or

the other active half and they will radiate. He grounds his tuner to
a ground rod, but also his coax to the radio will tie him in to the
service ground of the residence.

Why would his coax tie him to the service ground?

Radio antenna connector to radio chassis ground.
Radio chassis ground to radio power plug. Radio power
plug to wall outlet. Wall outlet to service ground.

Mobile radio with a power supply. Power supply has a transformer, which isolates
it it from direct connection. The PS is an old RS unit which does not have a
ground on it's plug.

So in essence, you're wrong.

sigh. Look at a schematic sometime. The PS transformer ain't isolating
*anything* from ground, dude.

Actually, I did that before I posted, to be sure. The transformer is not
connected to ground. I will gladly take a picture and email it to you if you
want. There is no ground plug on the AC plug.

OK, since your radio is not connected to service ground, stick a fork into
one hole of your wall outlet, the hot side. Hang on and grab your radio
chassis with the other hand. Let me know how it goes.

I am not going to get into name calling with you. I will appreciate your help if
you try to help me. But if you want to belittle me, then let the others try and
help me.

I am trying to save you from wearing size 50 pants, having body odor and
complaining about your medical problems on 75 meters. Just get
a base station cb antenna, plug it in and forget it.
