But arent you in the boonies Mike with little common mode noise? I notice a few others with lots of acerage do the same but when I was enroached upon on both sides I just followed ON4UN's lead. It works and maybe the other way does as well but with about a foot of compacted snow, which is also called ice, on the ground Im months from finding out. More coming Monday.

I don't ground the shields at the transformers. The only place they are
grounded/connected together is inside the shack, at the switchbox.

My beverage coax is mostly laying on the ground. A little of it is buried.

  Most all agree that the antenna xfmr ground and and the coax ground
should be separate.  How much distance between the two ground point is
recommended for this?
