Grounding regulations are there because they are the right way to protect people and property from Lightning and from faults on the power system. They are written in the form of Electrical Building Codes (the NEC in North America) by some VERY sharp Electrical Engineers who really do understand radio, audio, video, lightning, and all the other ramifications of proper grounding. They are not "big government" to be scorned, they are based on God's Laws of Physics to be learned and respected. Our concern is not the "ground police" (the local Electrical Inspector) -- it's LIGHTNING or a serious fault on the power line that can make you a very unhappy guy if you do it wrong. 73, Jim Brown K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
