Thanks for the boost and fortunately channel 2 is not used around
here. The problem with operating on the 50 to 54 MHz band, which I do,
is TV sets are poorly shielded and the front ends are highly
susceptible to overload. Hence 50 to 54 is not heavily used in channel
2 fringe areas<:-))

As I said in another post, my cables (receiving and transmitting) are
grounded at the top of the tower, the base of the tower, and where
they enter the house.  The ground system consists of either 32 or 33
eight foot ground rods, CadWelded (TM) to over 600 feet of cable that
ties the whole works together.
