As I understand it, back on January 1, 2006, tower grounding standards in the US were specified in ANSI/TIA-222-G-2005 to state that the connections between the tower and grounding electrodes, or bet

I see no reason why tinned stranded wire couldnt be used since the oxidation issue of bare copper is minimized. However 2/0 is ridiculous for ham towers, perhaps it is a typo in the regs and they mea

When I was investigating the Heights towers, I noticed that their standard grounding kit used 2/0 wire. I've used #4 for my US Tower installation. 73 Alan NV8A _______________________________________

I bought a roll of solid 2 tinned from Elliott Electric Supply down the street. That's what they sell to Centerpoint Energy to ground power poles. How much do you need? I don't think I will use the w

The key here is "surface area" (or did it say cross sectional area).. 2/0 is 0.364 inches in diameter, so 3/8" OD copper tubing would serve, as would some bar stock. I've seen stranded 2/0 and 4/0 us

All this talk about grounding has gotten me in a mood to ask a few questions, since I've not grounded my tower yet. I've not placed any antennas on it yet or anything else, either, though, but it's s

Mike, W6RMK has given you good advice, but a fair amount of what has been written on this topic is of questionable accuracy or relevance. I suggest that the FIRST thing you should do is download and

Folks: Judging from what I have seen and read, from the works of Jim at Audio Systems group, I put him at a similar Level on matters relating to EMI, RFI, grounding, and a number of other topics, as

What I find strange is that the prior NEC grounding codes were sufficient for decades upon decades. So why the sudden change? Do they qualify their reasoning? Is it via a "concensus" which is like tr

The problem with some engineers is that they strive for 100% perfection and accept nothing else. Ive seen many of that type come and go over my almost 50 years in the RF industry. They never get a pr

hardly sudden.. the deprecation of "water pipe" grounds goes back to the 70s, when plastic pipe started to be used extensively (especially for repairs). The increased emphasis on Ufer types is more r

In the defense industry we do "successful approximation's" all the time. If we went for perfection we'd price ourselves right out of the competition. But, we always provide options and detail the sco
