I'm not sure exactly where I should post this, but suspect that this group probably has more relevant expertise than most, so please bear with me. In the last year, I have had two expensive episodes.

I recently had to add my computer to my single point grounding system. Apparently the computer chassis potential was slightly different than the chassis potential on my FT-7800 transceiver. I feed th

That would seem adequate... I just run a piece of 4/0 wire around the baseboard and go up the back of each operating table with a piece just hose clamped to it then unwrap strands to go to the radio,

Sorry, I guess I should have made this clear - the lightning events in question have been nearby, not direct hits. I disconnect everything at the entry panel, an approach that has weathered one direc

I'm a strong advocate of that, but there's more to it. The fundamental problem is that we have many pieces of equipment that have unbalanced connections between them, and that are connected to ground

To keep impedance/inductance as low as possible, I've heard that all bonding connections should not only be short, but also should not have any sharp bends or turns. Nothing tighter than an 8"-10" ra

Sorry all, I inadvertently used a term of art - "entry panel" - by which I really meant the aluminum panel on which all of my coax and control jacks are mounted, set in a 2nd floor double-hung window

Like Jim, I'm a strong proponent of the Single Point Ground (SPG) but there are additional factors to be taken into account when other services are taken into account, even if they all enter through

Roger, Just a few remarks: 1. YES, all I/O cables between the house and outside world need to pass thru a common grounding panel. The fact that I have 2 such panels, at opposite ends of the house, do

I actually took a third path - the computer with the RS-232 connection is attached to my ground bus no more than an inch from where the transceiver's chassis is connected, and both ground leads are n

To clarify, what Dave has correctly observed is the MAGNETIC loop formed by the signal return in the control cable and the bonding path. And, as he observed, the induced voltage and current are propo
