was getting "wonky" first thing I would check was power and ground.
When doing my Ham radio hobby a good solid electrical ground always made my antennas work better. Hummmm
I might try the "home made" grounding device he mentioned. I would use a long strip of copper mesh under the fitted sheets and connect it to a wire leading outside. Hook it up to to a copper ground rod pounded into the earth. Just like my Radio!!
My only concern would be if asleep and a electrical storm popped up, then what? Lighting strikes travel thru the ground too. Hummmm

I would plan on using a new ground rod. Another idea would be to drill a hole in the house thru the concrete floor. mitch96 Sep 2024 #4
