Default Why ground the transmitter?


ORIGINAL MESSAGE:

Previously posted:

On whatever floor the transmitter + tuner is located, to obtain a low

impedance ground, connect everything in sight together via the
shortest reasonably possible wires, including hot and cold metal water
pipes, the domestic plumbing system, central heating system, not
forgetting the incoming water and gas mains.

Yep, those things radiate reeeeeely good, don'tcha know.

Busted any pileups lately?
