[TowerTalk] Active vertical and grounding

[Pete Smith N4ZR <n4zr@comcast.net>]

I am using an active 8-foot vertical elevated at the base about 25 feet 
(on a roof edge) for receive-only (RBN).  Would the antenna be more 
sensitive ifI directly grounded the case (and coax shield) to a ground 
rod directly below the antenna?  It does not currently have common mode 
chokes on the feedline
