Hi folks. My shack is on the second floor of my house. No other options. I
had the same situation years ago in another house, another city. I was just
getting started in the hobby and several "old timers" told me about a method
of getting a good RF ground on the second floor. It involved using
capacitors on a piece of RG-8U. You installed one at the shack and at the
ground across the shield and center conductor. The ones I have, bought at
Dayton years ago where they were sold as part of this "lash-up," are marked,
"RMC, .01HD, 1KV, Z5U. They are discs, tan in color.
Maybe some of the more technically inclined can comment on this arrangement.
I would appreciate it.
Steve, N4JQQ
