National Electric Code is the better reference for conductor sizing. For Grounding and Bonding practices, N0AX's ARRL book, to which I contributed, is a winner. My take on it is here. Ignore "audio"

Nor is it part of a lightning grounding/dissipation system, so all those rules don't matter. There absolutely IS a requirement that all grounds in a premises be bonded together. If power is fed from
In my VA qth I have an extensive grounding halo with 20 ground rods cad welded to the conductor. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef> ________________________________ From: TowerTalk <towertalk

I am wondering why nearly everything is made this way. Is connecting to the chassis too costly? John KK9A Jim Brown jim at audiosystemsgroup.com Virtually all consumer products, everything from compu
Yes. For 30-40 years, standard practice has been to build boards with connectors mounted to the board and shove them into an enclosure with holes for connector to fit through. It costs more build so
Here is a poor no-scale sketch......hopefully it will come through proportionally.... 1) Shack is at opposite side of house from service entrance, tower is at rear corner of back yard 2) All coax/con
