Yes, that illusive ground. Here’s what Keith Hamilton has on his Rangemaster website under Techical/Ground about a ground wire:
There are a lot of questions about whether or not the ground wire is to be included in the FCC 3 meter limit. I have discussed this with the top FCC enforcement official in the DC office. He has told me that the FCC gives the designer latitude to determine what ground is as long as it is reasonable. We have no problem calling the tiptop of your ground wire at the transmitter binding post “ground” as long as you use a massive wire, (#12 or #10) intended for grounded purposes. We do not feel that in this case the Ground cable is included in the 3 meter limit. JimB
