Grounding the Antenna
Having determined that the ladder on our 5th wheel is not grounded that well, I decided to add some grounding braid. The braid is tinned copper. I soldered copper lugs to the ends of the braid. The type normally used in battery connections, for smaller batteries in lawn mowers, etc... The braid connects to the base of the quick disconnect atop the ladder, runs down the back side of the ladder and terminates on one of the stabilizer jack mounting screws. I'm hopeful for some added performance.
