Quote:I have the ground on the 3 prong power cord connected to the chassis of the radio now.That is about the crappiest ground ever. Its like connecting to a source of NOISE!
A counterpoise would be a better choice if there is no EARTH connection less than say 25' away, shorter for Short Wave. Home utility ground at some distant point in the home electrical system in not the "Signal Sink" that some may wish to believe. Remember all those switching devices that bypass the noise to both neutral and the "U" ground.
Grounding to the "U" on the outlet is a two way street.
