I think the wind is a problem for ham radio antennas too. They have to
be well grounded.
WRONG!!!!!!! Antennas have to be well INSULATED. Otherwise the radio
waves would be grounded and nothing would work. The grounding is done in
either the transmitter if one is transmitting or in the receiver if one is
receiving.
What you said here is probably what I was trying to
remember. I think the earth itself can build up a charge too.
And just what would that charge be in relationship to ground if ground is
already grounded. Bob Lee is right. Why don't we not conjecture about
something if we don't know.
This is a
sort of Tesla type principle.
And what is the Tesla principle, Diane? Actually is has to do with
AC. Not static electricity. You're batting zero today.
