So you’ve finally got your ticket, radio is setup and antenna is in the air… Have you thought about grounding at all? Probably not… or… even worse… it’s unsafe. Don’t feel bad, most of us hams probably have suboptimal grounding systems. W8JI has a nice writup on his station and it’s grounding, which is so good, there’s no need to disconnect due to an incomming storm! (IMHO, I still wouldn’t operate in stormy weather). While we don’t need to go all out (after all, money is an object to most of us), but building a safe station should come first, fun second.
