writes Ian Jackson wrote: You should at least provide a good ground for the coax screen at the antenna feedpoint. Hopefully, this will be remote from the house. For good luck, you can also ground it where it enters the house (and anywhere else you care to along its length), but it's the ground at the antenna end which is the most important. I've never bothered and have had good results. I'm sure you have. However, it's nice if the 'feedpoint' of the antenna goes through the primary (high impedance) winding of the un-un, and straight to a good RF ground. And, as you have a good RF ground, you might as well connect the coax screen to it too. The screen should remain pretty well RF-dead all the way back to the receiver, but there's no harm in grounding it at other points along its length to ensure absolutely zero pickup of noise on the coax. -- Ian |
