Hello all.
I'm mapping out my long-term scanner radio setup (up to 7 scanners) w/associated antennas (likely 3-4 radio + 1 TV ATA roof antennas the latter to replace discontinued satellite service ) I'm starting to research the grounding requirements.
I'll be starting this piecemeal ONE antenna at a time, but hope to set it up right the first time with room for plug-and-playish capability to add each new antenna easily to the "system" i.e. one common mast ground wire connecting ALL the antenna to the basement? and/or multi outlet grounding blocks...
Is the AARL book "Grounding and Bonding" overly complex or complicated (professional-ish) OR is it easily understandable to the average radio user? I can pick this up nearby at Ham Radio Outlet. I've studied some online articles and illustrations & following the existing basement grounding wires (some to water pipes, some to the electrical box) so am starting to get a feel for this part of the project.
Doing this right and understanding will give me a head start when I study for my Ham Radio license as well.
Thanks for reviews for the AARL book.
