Hi, all.
As many of you know, I'm planning to put in a ground rod for an HF station
earth ground here at the new home QTH in Colorado if I can get the weather
to co-operate, and be above freezing for a while.
However, in thinking about grounding, I have another question.
My VHF/UHF antenna here at the new house is a Diamond X200A. It is mounted
with a bracket to the side of the house, just below the roof line. The coax
for that antenna runs from the feedpoint, around the house, and into the
feed-through panel at the shack window.
How do you ground an antenna like this for lightning protection?
I suppose that, when summer thunderstorms approach, I could simply
disconnect the antenna, and hope for the best, but I wonder what others have
tried. There are no grounding instructions provided with the antenna
itself.
See everyone on the Cross-country Blind Ops Net in a couple of hours!
