Amateur Radio Bespoke Earth Bar
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
After researching grounding for my amateur radio setup it became quite apparent how important this was. I watched many KZread videos of other peoples solutions before coming up with my own solution to suit my situation.
Maybe this film will help you. Let me know what you think.

Very super good, question: what size thickness ground cable wire to the outside rod do you use? and what size from the distributon bar to the radio and other apparatus? many thanks
Overkill......
Liked the video .. :) Was there any noticeable difference in noise level ?
Does the earth bar have to be mounted to the wall What size grounding wires did you use for your equipment
Can I ask you where you sourced the 2 x 4' earthing rods please?
Do you have an issue with a lightning strike bringing the lightning into the loft before it hits the arrestors?

With all due respect, I concur that this is a troublesome solution. I can find no source that recommends placement of lightening "arrestors" inside a building including online ham radio authorities, the ARRS book referenced in the video and online electricians and engineers. The misnamed arrestors do not in fact arrest the lightning if there is a direct strike. They offer some protection from nearby strikes and static discharges. This setup is in violation of the NEC in the U.S.; I don't know about regulations in the U.K. I expect the setup works just fine for fair weather, but I am concerned about an increased fire risk in the event of a nearby lightning strike. While neatness is desirable, safety should be paramount. Kind regards, John - KK7JBZ
