Been a while since I posted here. For the sake of noise suppression as
affective lightning protection is almost hopeless without gas tubes, what
would be the minimum gauge wire that you could use for a ground from the
radio to a ground spike and from a matching transformer to a ground spike
??? Yes, I know there is loads of info on the net, but I would like some
active opinions as some recent discussions I have had on this has been
conflicting.

Also... I've gotten conflicting opinions on this one too. If you have a
long wire or beverage set up on a matching transformer like the ICE 180,
there is a ground receptacle on the matching transformer. Would you:

SNIP

I would ignore the bad opinions and go with the good opinions.

However, if you do decide to go with a bad opinion I would ask Billy
boy. He could probably come up with the worst reasoning or just wait a
few more minutes as RHF is putting together about 3 pages of bunk for
you to slog through. I'm looking at my watch to see how long it will
take him. Shouldn't be much longer.

Blatant, unequivocal exaggeration.

Historically, the page count has never exceeded 2.89, with the norm
being approximately 2.76

Let's keep the facts straight, shall we?
