de WB2CPN, ham since 1947. Bill, KM0F said it all. Also, Any wire that comes in the house can not be left hanging inside without some ground or termination on it. Left alone it will build up a static

Re: [IC-7000] Grounding plus newbie questions.
Hi again Alex, As for speakers, I use speakers that have a solid box or housing, and most of the enclosures I fill with acoustical or fiber glass insulation. It seems to cut the bass response and

What is the secret move?
I would like to know how the power cord is unplugged from the back of the radio. Thanks, WD8QBQ, JIM

Re: [IC-7000] Grounding plus newbie questions.
Well said Bill. Grounding everything in the station certainly won't hurt and will add a safety cushion. For example it is probably not a good idea to assume that the ground is actually grounded in a

Hi Bill. Thanks a lot for the advise. I will buy the ARRL 2014 when it is released. I love the hobby already. I have been listening to dx for 2 years almost but have only just switched from a comms

Re: Grounding plus newbie questions.
Thanks for all the replies. It makes more sense now and I'm up and running with a PSU supplied in a bundle from the shop. I am from England and plan to get my license in a few months at my local club.

Hi Alex, Cause is bloody rich! - His antennas are all matched and he probably has lighting arrestors that would stop anything. You can watch the episode on Ham Nation / Twit.tv where he makes the

Re: [IC-7000] Re: Grounding plus newbie questions.
I wish I had my book about Ham on a budget done, but it is still in the works. You need to get an antenna up, even if not licensed. Get or build an antenna matcher. Plans can be found all over the
