Virtual Ham Shack Tour #1 - N4CCB

[@jimbabcock6285]

Thank you for the detail around the ground mounted vertical antenna. I need to do something similar. My shack is also on the second floor in a bedroom. I have several VHF antennas in the attic. I ran the coax through the ceiling in a corner of the closet. I also have copper plumbing, so I run my RF ground to the cold water pipe. My HF antenna gets disconnected before lightning is a problem. 73 Jim N4FAF

Seems perfect to me.... Beautiful room. I wonder if ground is as important if your antennas are close to resonant. I have a feeling that the more we depend to tuners the more ground is important. My shack is on the second floor also.

Mount a vhf/uhf antenna in the tree. Paint it gray with non-metallic paint.
