RE: [TCML] Alternate RF Ground

["Phil Tuck" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You could put the coil onto a chicken wire mesh as I did here

I used a plastic surround and just used cable ties to put it all together. I
suppose it should cover the streamer length attainable to be truly
effective. I then connected the secondary earth to the mesh. It did affect
the tuning a bit which is what is being done in the picture.

Subject: [TCML] Alternate RF Ground

Hi all,

I have a 2KW SSG coil which I need to run in a conference centre environment
where I will have no access to a solid dedicated RF ground point.

I could of course connect it to the nearest fire extinguisher outlet or even
the 3phase ground but I would be VERY concerned about inducing spikes and RF
noise into sensitive equipment elsewhere in the building.

Thus I am looking for alternate solutions and am hoping someone on the list
may be able to help.

I read somwhere that it is possible to use a spare secondary coil as a dummy
load on the RF earth???

Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

PS. I also need to keep all RF and EM emissions to an absolute minimum as
there will be a lot of sensitive equipment being used in the same area like
video projectors, amps, UHF wireless microphones, computers, DMX controlled
lighting, etc.

Keep em sparks flying
Grant
