I've been under the impression that a Faraday shield on a loop antenna acts as an electric field shield, but not a magnetic field shield, beca; /archives//html/Topband/1997-02/msg00000.html (8,020 bytes)

TopBand: Bonding radials (score: 1): Author: n9dx@michiana.org (Larry Higgins); Date: Thu, 13 Feb 1997 22:27:33 -0500 (EST); Joe, if exothermic welding is what I recall from 31 years ago, it's what we used to bond the grounding system at a tropo station in Vietnam. Pretty good grounds were needed for 80-foot dish antennas; /archives//html/Topband/1997-02/msg00213.html (8,455 bytes)

Depending on the answers, they might also suggest some useful radial system design info. 1. It is well established tha; /archives//html/Topband/1997-02/msg00440.html (8,087 bytes)
26. TopBand: cheap gamma/omega capacitors for shunt fed towers (score: 1): Author: n9dx@michiana.org (Larry Higgins); Date: Fri, 31 Jan 1997 23:09:35 -0500; I tried coax stubs several years ago. RG8 worked fine on the exciter. When I fired up the amp there was a blinding flash at the base of the tower. The RG8 had metamorphosed into charcoal.

The difference was suc; /archives//html/Topband/1997-01/msg00003.html (7,845 bytes)
28. TopBand: W3LPL Beverages etc. (score: 1): Author: n9dx@michiana.org (Larry Higgins); Date: Mon, 20 Jan 1997 23:35:20 -0500; I'd be very interested in Frank's assessment of how the 4-square and the Beverages compare. I'm sure he wouldn't keep planting all those fence posts if there was no benefit. How about letting us know; /archives//html/Topband/1997-01/msg00004.html (6,611 bytes)
29. TopBand: VK6VZ's radials (score: 1): Author: n9dx@michiana.org (Larry Higgins); Date: Tue, 21 Jan 1997 23:22:32 -0500; If I read your posting correctly, your radials must be much less than 1/4 wave and they are above ground. Here at N9DX I'm using just four buried radials and four radials at 8 feet, but they are 1/4; /archives//html/Topband/1997-01/msg00005.html (7,154 bytes)

Thus, the neutral wire of the appliance is connected to the hot wire instead. And you're right; /archives//html/Topband/1996-10/msg00240.html (7,980 bytes)
