In Reply to: it isn't overload! There was a thread about discharge units, here or at General. posted by Timbo in Oz on October 20, 2006 at 21:17:06:
I do have a ground rod below the tower in the ground about 5ft long.
This is the rod that delhi sells.It is attached with a heavy cable
to the tower and the tower itself is in the ground cemented in about
15 inches,so it should be well grounded.
However I am still installing satelite dishes on the tower as well
and so have not quite completed my installation.I still need to ground all the coax from my antenna and the dishes.I have run an aluminum 10 gauge drain wire down the tower and was going to attach
this to the tower as the tower is already grounded.But I guess I
could drive in another rod.
Just so I am clear the function of those gas tube units(discharge units) is to protect the tuner from lightning and also to suppress
static caused by wind?They do both.
I have located several sources for these units by the way.Another
source for them is from"Cushcraft" and another is "Furse".
I noticed the other day while listening during a rain storm that the static was not there,so I think this is in fact wind static and the
noise is caused by the coax not yet being grounded.Duane Upshaw
