Grounding Considerations
Although the antennas are designed to operate efficiently without the requirement of an earth
ground, safety grounding must still be provided to protect equipment, property and persons
from the hazards of lightning strikes and other weather related electrical discharges.
An effective method of protecting station equipment is to install an in-line coaxial lightning
arrestor with a heavy duty ground wire to a suitable earth ground, or a safety switching system
as part of the basic ham station equipment.
