Re: [TCML] Treating RF feedback
HI
Grounding is simple try it if it works its great if it don't try
something different.
I get more RF out of a 1000 watt amp. than I do my 6in Tesla coil. I ran
my Tesla coil
grounded on electrical ground only and got no RF problems at all. I run
my DRSSTC
all the time in there with no problem. It depend on how big your coil is
to the amount
of RF it put out.
(the same is true for a vertical antenna. Radials beat a ground rod
every which way. )
the radials and a counter poise is use to reflect signal (not ground)
try what the other person said chicken wire and see if if work if it
doesn't
try something else. I have more equipment in my shop than you
have in a home, and my 6in Tesla coil had effect on nothing. now would I
do that ever day no, to me there is nothing better than earth ground to
dissipating RF. Somebody said running a 100 ft wire to ground make a
antenna,
what is the chicken doing if it does not go to earth ground. the coil
will work
right but the RF is going to dissipating in all directions and to me
that not good.

hi
RF is RF it make no difference weather I am on 125.210 running a
1000 watts or
on 40 meter 7.210 running a 1000 watt or a tesla coil. The idea is to
get rid of the RF and if you
are trying to ground and you can not get the rod deep enough you use
more than one
rod, this is simple physic's put the RF in the ground. This is only
grounding the bottom
of the secondary coil nothing else. I am not talking about your
electrical plug at all.
The closer the ground rods are to your coil the better it is. The
ground rod have to
be far enough apart that they don't effect each other. Brandon if you
don't understand
what I mean email me direct and can talk on the phone and I can
explain it better
thanks
