Ground is a Myth! | Kristen McIntyre K6WX

Post author By admin
Post date November 10, 2024

Kristen McIntyre K6WX, First Vice President of the ARRL presented at the Tassie Ham-E-Con Ham Radio Conference about "Ground is a Myth" and the intriguing cases of grounding!
@ARRLHQ

Let’s dig into whether this all makes sense and what theory really says about "ground." Does it exist in any practical way?

Other presentations from the conference can be found at this playlist here:
