Hi Dave,
Just got home. I wasn't planning on shorting the aluminum tube to
the center condicutor of the cable. Just to the shell of the BNC
connector, which doesn't have any power on it.
Thanks for the intruction information. I bought my ALA-1530 used
and it didn't come with any instructions.

Rob,
I just found my 1530 instruction sheet and it reminded me that the
coax
has DC voltage on it (for the circuitry up at the loop base)so
don't
short it out. Also, it does say to NOT ground the coax between
the loop
and the downstream Antenna Interface box "as it may introduce
noise."
Nigel: Not to worry about my using a stake; my wife won't let me
play
with anything sharp any more.
