Re: [IRCA] More coax experiments

["Chuck Hutton" <charlesh3@xxxxxxx>]

I wouldn't assume 1 pipe is good enough. The soil in your area has as low a
conductivity as any place in the US. If you still have problems, a second
ground pipe will cut the grounding resistance in half so is a worthwhile
effort.

One of the cheaper places for quad shield is the ebay dealer in Aberdeen WA
that always has coax for sale. Perhaps you or one of the Grayland guys could
pick some up next month as I'm sure one of us will be out there.

Chuck,

I just installed a new 10 foot copper pipe for the receiver ground a few
days back. So that should be enough. I probably will have to mail for
Quad Shield RG6 as I doubt any of it is available on the coast. 
For the record, the local cable company (Charter) has leaky cable. For
cable we have Fred Meyer & Radio SHack.
