Thank you may be warm enough this weekend it snowing today but you are right rods are cheap labor is free, but radio repairs Ouch! Brian Mackey KC1MAC/AG Hams don't let hams get stuck on 2 meter

Re: [IC-7000] Powering up the 7000
The increase on the "other" end from 100 watts to 250 is precious little, waste of time, effort, and $$, better effort and $$ are spent on improving your antenna system and grounding on your current

Re: [IC-7000] Lightning Protection References
It sounds like your electrical Panel box was not grounded to the rods outside at the tower. Was everything bonded together? Tower/Radios/rotator control etc and the Mains. If not you have a huge

Re: [IC-7000] Lightning Protection References
Also, before installing extra ground rods and tying them together, read up on proper practice for doing so. I don't remember the exact rule, but multiple ground rods should be spaced at a specific

Re: [IC-7000] Lightning Protection References
Brian, I agree that approach has several problems, which are easily corrected. Without knowing the details of how long the coax, ground wires, etc. it is hard to quantify the degree of the problem. 1.

I¡¯ve been following the thread on lightning with great interest having had the shack struck by lightning twice. As I result I have the following theory and I would like the ¡°experts¡± to look it

Powering up the 7000
New member today. Anyone running a linear amp with the 7000? Would like to run it up to 250 watts - not finding much on the internet specific to myissue.

Re: [IC-7000] Lightning Protection References
Very bad practice. The separate ground rods should be BONDED together, preferably with wide copper strap. Your installation provides plenty of area for voltage differences. Someone also said they used

I replied directly to Chuck originally, in keeping with prior my off-list recommendation, but it should have been to the group I think. Since I replied via the web form, I don't have the original

Re: [IC-7000] Lightning Protection References
Steve: I see what you're saying about the potential being uniform (it all comes up to the same potential), but the current would be mostly common-mode. A direct strike would generate mostly

My ground is setup where all the gear goes to a grounding strip to a single 8 foot ground round, and then the antenna is grounded to a separate 8 foot ground rod (via) a lightning arrester Brian

Bob, My comments are embedded below. In the past, this group's moderator has suggested that long threads not directly related to the IC-7000, be taken off list or pursued on a more appropriate

Re: [IC-7000] Lightning Protection References
Chuck, I disagree that most of the lightning energy flows down the outside of the coax shield. If a dipole antenna is in the discharge field of a flash, both elements will receive similar coupled

For my shorting plugs I use 2" x 0.06" copper strap with SO-239 chassis receptacles mounted on it. Drill a hole just large enough for the center pin on the back and also for the mounting ears. Screw
