Grounding question
wrote:
I plan to build a random wire antenna in my backyard with an RG8X feedline. I want to ground the feedline just before it enters the house. Can I connect the coax to a SO-239 to SO-239 adapter (I think it's called a PL-258), then attach the adapter directly to a ground rod using a hose clamp? Or, should I buy a lightning arrestor (e.g., Zap Trapper) and attach that to ground rod just outside the house? Thanks. Use RG6. For HF receive it'll work just as well and you can use Type F accessories. http://www.satellitedish.com/cata0102.htm Be sure to use an SWL Balun at the feedpoint. http://www.buxcomm.com/catalog/index...index&cPath=11 Or roll your own http://palomar-engineers.com/9_1_Bal...balun_kit.html |
