Hello! I'm a newbie member. I took the general test in November as I remember
with your great team. I'd like to come to this. It will be my first event with
y'all. Is it members/spouses only or can I let others know about it? I ask
because I know others who have licenses, but no practical exper
By all means let anybody you know about the event. All is welcome.

Thank you. I have a dear friend/x employee I’ll invite.Sent from my iPhoneOn Feb 24, 2024, at 08:57, anthony moro via BVARC wrote:By all means let anybody you know about the event. All is welcome.On Sat, Feb 24, 2024, 8:44 AM Dan Donalson KI5YXK via BVARC wrote:H

Use braided copper for bonding but minimum AWG6 wire for external grounding and
lightning protection.
Every single ground system in the N0AX book suggests wire not braid.
The two are totally different animals

Won’t be able to make it this time due to medical issues. Did a POTA at Stephen F Austin last week. Made 20 contacts. Will try to contact tonight on 40m. What time?Hoping to come to the Ham Fest but that is up in the air right now. Have to see how I progress.David KKI5TEBSent from my iPadOn Feb 24,

The type of wire is not important in bonding applications. The object of
bonding is to prevent potential voltages from 2 different grounds. In the event
of a lightning strike, you want all grounding systems to be at the same
potential. This relates to safety & equipment protection, not RF groun
Totally agree and it’s vital to measure the grounding resistance, both my
positions (station and electrical service are linked but 300ft apart) are sub 1
ohm which is well below code. All my bonding inside in the shack leads to a
common grounding copper bus bar with braided copper cables to each

I’ve been getting reports that local stations can’t hear me. I was able to contact one station just south of Tyler Texas so it might look like local 40 m is not doing well.Regards,Sean - N5LNKOn Feb 24, 2024, at 8:08 PM, Rudolph Ackerman wrote:Not hearing your on 7.271Rudy Ackerman 281 460 7384

It would seem to me the fast rise time of the lightning pulse makes it
similar to any RF good practice concernsthe safety ground path should
have low inductive reactance, not just low resistance. It also seems to
me that skin effect resistance of braided strap may be lower than the skin
