Exactly.

Do late model sailplanes actually have a "factory" grounding point?


Certainly not when they are in the air!

OK, that's a joke, but it does bring into sharp
relief that the "ground" concept is a fiction
(except under limited circumstances that are not
relevant here). It is also a fiction on the ground
as well, particularly where RF is concerned (see
any book on antenna design).


How do you think we should be discussing the issue?
