Being a smarter than average bear (my own opinion of course :~) I
figured I'd use coax to bring my long wire antenna into the house, and
I'd ground the shield.

Didn't work very well.

Now I'm just using plain wires for each of the antenna and ground and it
works very well. I'd say that my antenna outside the house is about
10-15' off the ground and runs for about 100' in a 50' x 50' "L" shape.
