Thanks.

This is the kind of subject that exposes the value of this net. Many of the problems that each of us encounter with tranceivers in fiberglass and aluminum trailers and motor homes are unique to us. This may be one of the few places that we can find other hams who have experience with and solved those kind of problems.

Back to the origanal point, has anybodhy tried an artificial RF ground. MFJ has one for $109? It's the MFJ-931 and it zeros out the reactance on the RF ground.

I've got a shack full of MFJ gadgets- some have been worth every penny, others aren't worth the frieght it took to get them there. So before I spend $109 to gamble on one of those Starksville black boxes I'd like to hear form an experienced user.

Thanks,
Richard, WU5K
