Grounding and Bonding for the Radio Amateur 2nd Edition

"Grounding and Bonding for the Radio Amateur, 2nd Edition" shows you how to make sure your station follows current standards for lightning protection and communication systems. You'll learn effective grounding and bonding techniques for home stations (including condos and apartments), portable and mobile stations, towers, and outdoor antennas.

Proper station grounding is important! Build your ham radio station with these effective grounding and bonding techniques:
* AC safety: Protect against shock hazards from AC-powered equipment by providing a safe path for current when a fault in wiring or insulation occurs
* Lightning protection: Keep all equipment at the same voltage during transients from lightning, and dissipate the lightning's charge in the earth, away from equipment
* RF management: Prevent unwanted RF currents and voltages (also known as RF interference or RFI) from disrupting the normal functions of equipment

Learn how to install an effective and safe grounding system for your station from QST Contributing Editor, H. Ward Silver, N0AX. Order "Grounding and Bonding for the Radio Amateur, 2nd Edition" from DX Engineering.
