Hi Rick K9AO.
I might just do that.? If so, I expect I'll be knocking on your email for hints etc at some point!? :-)
To Rick KB8WCK
It's a possibility I guess, but here in the UK, we have totally different electrical grounding and distribution than you do in the US, and also VERY much less lightning etc.
I do occasionally suffer RF in the shack on the low HF here, but that's down to the very small plot I'm on, and the grossly inefficient antenna that is too close to the house.? (No choice in that matter sadly.)
I can exceed the EMF limit (27V/m) inside our house and the nearest antenna neighbor, on the low bands with just some 35W output!
Dummy Load at antenna feed location = minimal RF in the shack on any band, even with the full 100W going up the spout!? So no feeder leaks.? (There again, no PL259/SO239 connectors used either.)
I had not run any RF out, on the day before I found the PC had fallen over, so unlikely that, but who knows.
Regards to All.
Dave G0WBX.
