And then the story gets changed and we end up with "Bob Heil" says not to ground your station.? I really think all the companies should be required to include a copy of the Polyphaser grounding paper with each and every radio that is sold. So, it should be mandated that manufacturers give out something?? If the users don't have any common sense, forcing manufacturers to give them something to read isn't going to help.? At some point WE all have to take some responsibility.? If you have ever elmered someone, did you talk about lightning safety?? Or only how to use the local 2 meter repeater?? Everyone should know that lightning can damage our equipment, and even cause injury.? Not doing anything to mitigate it increases that risk.? It is up to us to learn how to mitigate the risk, just as it is to hook up our antennas and power supplies correctly. Mark |
