Sold my Yaesu FRG-7700 six years ago. Now getting back into it due to lack of other activities because of Corvid-19 crap.
Just ordered an Icon IC-R71A receiver. With my FRG-7700 I had a lot of noise. Installed a 6 foot ground about 25 feet in my back yard and that solved the noise problem. Now I cannot locate the ground even with a metal detector. Go figure. So I will just pound in another one near my office on the ground floor. It is on the side of the house in the front. In the back are two A/C units and the power company meter on the back corner.
I plan to pound in the new copper ground rod close to the front of the house away from the back corner with the power company meter and 2 a/c units. Is this the best idea?
Thanks
