Freecell, I have trouble opening the links you post. Most of them come up with a thing that says: Forbidden-----you do not have permission to access the requested file on this server.

When i started my ground system i was using a regular ohm meter and it read 0 ohms. I knew that probably was not correct, so, i bought a more expensive meter designed for reading grounding systems. It read 26 ohms with 1 ground-rod. Slowly went down after adding more rods. It's reading 12...

Resistance is 12 there Freecell. My soil is 3 1/2 ft of dark soil. And beneath that is wet clay. P.S. FREECELL: I have tried clicking on the links in your above post, but, get a forbidden to access warning.

Hi, Ok the issue on a outside safety ground. FREECELL, the articles you post on grounding are good, but, questions still come to my mind. Ok, i have all three of my tower legs grounded to there own groundrods, spaced 6 ft apart. According to some articles this spacing is to close. Right...

Good article FREECELL!

Better the tree than the A-99...

I always wondered how well that antenna worked too. Never knew of anyone that had one.

I have seen 2 A-99's and 1 Imax 2000 after a direct hit from lightning. Not a pretty sight. Shattered fiberglass all over the place and height is reduced to 12" to a few feet . Antenna looks like shredded wheat. Most of the time fiberglass antennas can not pass the high amounts of...

Best thing to do is put it up and try it. That way you will know first hand.

Not all Lowes stores carry the telescoping mast. I heard that from a few people. If you look in the section that has the regular TV mast pipe it should be right there if they carry it.

I have seen long runs of copper wire burn up from direct lightning strikes. Better use a real heavy wire if making a long run from your antenna. All the connections where each tower section goes together should be free of paint. Should be clean inside and outside and use penetrox or another...

The best way to get rid of TVI is height,good coax and most of all grounds. Yes, what you say Duckkilla is very true indeed.

Yeah, it is hard to beat a free antenna....LOL Good Luck with your A-99 there Chris.

Good Luck with your install Jerry! Sounds like a good plan.

WOW! Glad everybody is ok. Betcha it scared the S*#@ out of you...Would me!

My friend has one and it did not work correctly right from the get-go. He had to modify and strengthen the Hazer to get it to work correctly. He was not a Happy Camper. Heres a couple of reviews i've found on the Hazer. http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/5281 AND...

In some cases the GPK will help with TVI. It did not work in my situation, but, i have known others that it did indeed help TVI.
