Hello, I would think so. If you can get the RF choke out of an old junque amplifier . Those chokes handled 500 milli-amperes +- in normal service. Bleeding static shouldn't be a problem unless you get a direct hit.

Keep it in a dry place. Many of the old boat-anchor transmitters did this from the antenna coax connector to ground to protect the operator or anyone from touching the antenna should the RF coupling capicator between the tube plate and the pi-net tuner open up placing B+ on the antenna. 73, Sam Neal N5AF Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone _______________________________________________ BVARC mailing list [email protected] http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org _______________________________________________ BVARC mailing list [email protected] http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org
