Hi. I see alot of discussion that says to run ground wire from every piece of equipment in my radio room to the same ground as the antenna. OK, but I am confused. I usually disconnect the RG213 cable from my radio when not I'm not using it so that if the antenna gets hit with lightning nothing inside gets blown up. However, if I ground everything in my radio room, even if I disconnect my 213 cable, it seems to me that now the lightining can hit the antenna, travel through the ground wire, and still blow up everything. Please help me understand this, and tell me exactly step by step how to ground my system. Thanks. |

That would be true of your ground was not 'grounded'. If you were in free space. However, your GROUND will absorb the strike current, if it is connected and well bonded to the GROUND. |
