I have a question for owl to a dipole should the single wire terminal be grounded with the ground strap or should the strap be disconnected

If this is the E.F.Johnson KW of which you speak.............http://bama.edebris.com/manuals/johnson/matchbox/

With mine & owl..............no jumpers to either connection. Manual states to connect single wire transmission lines to terminal designated "Single Wire". The remaining feed-thru terminal must be grounded to the ground terminal above it during operation on 80, 40, 20 meters and left ungrounded on 15, 11, & 10 meters.

There is a ground connection............stud with nut. Best connect this puppy to a ground.

YMMV

Ham radio is now like the surprise in a box of "Cracker-Jacks". There is a new source of RFI every day.
