1. Is it possible for the shack ground via a couple of earth implanted ground rods to be a "better" ground than that on the breaker box? (The one with a 3 foot steel rod.) 2. If you have a battery op

No, that is not possible. The power company grounds IS thousands of ground rods one under every other power pole all the way back to the generating plant in parallel. AC impedance measurements here a

Are you saying that the electric company ground with the short rod at the box and the first pole, who knows how far away, is better than several sunken 10' rods with very low impedance wire (Strap or

I also notice that he asked about "Shack" ground. Anyone who has run QRO and used only electrical grounds gets RF burns to the lips on a mic, to the underside of the forearm on the corners of chairs

ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REPLY: If you are getting RF in the shack, you do not have a grounding problem, you have an antenna problem. You do NOT need an RF ground at your shack in any way. The only grounds

I have always (almost?) run either balanced antennas with Baluns (yagis-dipoles). My problems happened on 75 mostly with phased sloper arrays, corner fed delta loops, and flat top 75m dipoles at 80'

I run a 400-foot inverted vee, fed with ladderline. The ladderline comes to a balun within four feet of my mic and rig. No RF problems or RF in the audio with a kilowatt output. I also have a Hustler

Of course you can have RF in the shack from direct radiation off the antenna. Your house wiring can pick it up and get it over to your mike as well as having an unbalanced antenna system. 73 Gary K4F

RIGHT! Back to Charles's question about which ground is better. The answer is that it doesn't matter -- ALL MUST BE BONDED TOGETHER, which makes them effectively in parallel. In addition to lowering

1. ALL GROUNDS MUST BE BONDED. This is an NEC requirement. In general I have ground rods near the cable entrances with the lightning suppressors attached. These are bonded via ground at the water met

I would add "broadly centered" may cover an order of magnitude, but the farther out you go the fewer outliers you find. Even the super strikes, or positive lightning will not vary much outside that r

I forgot an important part of this statement. A typical strike "a mile away" may induce over 1000 volts per meter in a conductor. That distance is important. If it can do that from a mile away, think
