All the antenna works I did with the antenna grounded (you can see some details at http://www.sweb.cz/ok1fig/gallery.htm). Once I had to disconnect it and connect again to my small loading coil. It only burned slightly in my hand, nothing serious happened. No fireworks. I even did dare to connect RX EKD300 directly to loading coil, without any attenuation (normally I used 36 or 48 dB). RX survived and there was only a slight cross-modulation. But I am sure I wouldn't be so brave during summer period... 73 Petr OK1FIG ----- Original Message ----- From: Alberto di Bene To: Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2001 1:11 PM Subject: LF: Re: Protection against lightning > > When he reached for the coax and his hand was > > still about 10cm from the coax there was a large arc (between hand and > > coax). > > I wonder what did happen when those brave souls disconnected > from ground the Decca mast at Puckeridge last year ?? :-) > > 73 Alberto I2PHD > > > >
