First of all, isn't the "lead-in wire" (coaxial cable in this discussion) -shielded- ? So according to his -own- statement, coax shouldn't have to be buried, at least from a noise mitigation viewpoint. Doty continues: You can keep noise currents away from the antenna by giving them a path to ground near the house, giving antenna currents a path to ground away from the house, and burying the the coaxial cable from the house to the antenna. In the 1930s, Bell Laboratories, while investigating power line influence on telephone cables, proved that burial had NO effect on noise being induced into the telephone cables; i.e., 20 feet of aerial separation, from a noise standpoint, was exactly the same as 18 feet of aerial separation plus being buried 2 feet deep. Hmmm...should I believe "John Doty" or Bell Labs? You're a smart guy -- I'll let you figure that one out for yourself. :-) |

In any event, I'm sure that even the most superficial research on your part will show that the applicable Laws of Physics have not changed since then. But the ability to diagnose the debutantes, the malcontents and the faux's of SWBC certainly have! |

Undeniable Fact # 2 - Man's Ability to Accurately Measure the RFI-EMF Environment and It's Effects Has Changed Greatly : Increasing at least a Magnitude from the 1930s to the 1990s. super-ficial-ly yours ~ RHF |

Why should we read you posts when we can just go read the person you reference? You think you somehow improve the information? I think reading your posts are a waste of time. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
