[AusNOG] Earthing problems and switching infrastructure.

[Peter Tiggerdine]

Hi All,

I've got a customer that can touch any steel object that's connected
to earth and listen to the local radio station with a tone generator
wand. I've chalked this up an earthing problem touching a copper rod
or possibly building antenna.

The question is weather this is likely to impact switches and possibly
network performance. I'm airing on the side of very unlikely but it's
all frequency so unsure.

Happy for off list or on list replies.

Regards,

Peter Tiggerdine
