JD,

Antennas and Grounds : Do It Step-by-Step !
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shortw...a/message/6009

Some sort of Matching Transformer at the junction of the Wire Antenna
Element and the Coax Cable Feed-in-Line is a good First-Step.

Mounting this Matching Transformer directly to the Top of a
Ground Rod is a good Second-Step.

The placing the Coax Cable on the ground or burying it
under the ground is a good Third-Step.

Finally using a 1:1 "Isolation" Matching Transformer {Coax-to-Coax}
that uses a common Ground and that is itself Grounded; where the
Coax Cable leaves the Ground and enters the House is a very good
Fourth-Step.

Plus don't forget the Shack's Own Ground System 'bonded' to the
House's Electrical System. [ STEP-ON-IT ! ]
