Re: [TenTec] On Grounding

Steve, you can bond the house AC ground to the tower, et al with no. 10 wire
shallow buried (bare), and while you are at it, circle the house.  (200
feet) will give you less than 10 ohms earth impedance a good ground for
power line purposes, (lightning).  More is better, (200 plus feet).  The
idea is to spread the lightning current around to greatest area of earth.
The 200 feet minimum perimeter ground was developed by local utility here.
