Brett, KN4DVM, is wondering how to properly ground his station through the window, as said by the ARRL grounding and bonding book. Go beneath the house, through the wall, or through the window? Dave has the answer! Watch to find out!

I'm assuming a touch but a reason why lightning arresters might reduce noise is because antenna's tend to pick up a good amount of static electricity.

Thank you, Dave. N0QFT, Glen

Dave, I'm going to take exception to your advice on this one as copper brade is hydroscopic and will take on moisture outside causing it to deteriorate fairly quickly. The advice from Tim, K3LR at DX Engineering is to use #6 or larger stranded wire from the ground buss bar inside to the ground rod just outside of the shack.

We used to use thermite to connect wire/wrapping to ground rods

I misspoke a bit I should have said a reason we use lightning arresters, thank you for helping me correct my science.
