Other changes
Jim recently asked me if I made any other changes to my system other than in
the primary which may be related to my recent problems. I said no but last
night I realized that it was at the same time that I completely rebuilt the
main RF ground. I drove in three 8 ft copper rods in a triangle with 8 foot
legs. Then I connected all three together with galvanized roof flashing and
then soldered the flashing to the ground rods. Then I covered the whole
thing with about 100 lbs of rock salt. The connection from the ground system
to the coil was also changed to use 6" wide flashing about 5 feet total to
the bottom of the secondary. The old system used three 8 ft rods driven in
about four feet apart, connected together with #6 twisted bare copper house
ground wire and connected to the coil with about 20 feet of the same wire.
The coil now should see a much better ground. Can this be the cause of all
my primary and AC feed problems???
