let as suppose that you sitting in your arm chair with key in your hand
watching Desperate Housewife's. You have run a four foot stainless steel
rod
out of your front window on the 3 rd (top) floor of you apt. building.
From
the actual connection on the radio ( at connector) to the stainless
steel
rod antenna you have a R-59 co-ax cable.
Question: To get the best directional and the least power loss to have a
co-ax cable run from your chair to the stainless rod antenna and the
shield
at the antenna end ( not the radio end) to be directly attached to the
A/C
grounding on the wall outlet. Just reading the NEC code book that all
multi-dwelling building must have a minimum of two grounding rods of
eight
feet installed vertically..
If that outside the window stainless steel rod antenna is angled at 45
degrees to the south point on the horizon does that mean that a larger
part
of the transmission goes south with less going north.
- Done.
