I do not agree with that statement generally, especially when there is no good RF ground connection next to the rigs or the shack. If for instance you are using an antenna coupler with a doublet and open feeder then it is best to leave that floating and block common mode currents to the rig by a choke, if none is already part of the coupler and taking over that job.

The objective is to get them all at the same RF potential, not isolate them from one another so they can seek their own independent RF potential. 73 Hal N4GG _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
