Default UPDATE: "no ground" improvement.


It took me all of ten minutes to drive a 4' steel rod into the
ground outside my window, and clamp my ground lead securely to it, then
bury it below grade. My ground path is now a measurable 30" to solid
earth ground, and the improvement in MW is very noticeable. Still "flip
a coin" whether improved or not on SW bands, but tonight will tell.
Thanks to those who reinforced for me what I already knew, and was
trying to "get by" without.

Tony
