- What Jim says is true, but sometimes - as in my case - it's a bit difficult to put into practice. My station is located in a finished basement with a series of ground rods at ground level approximate

- More Bonding is indeed the answer. It is not only required by the NEC but it is also safer. For instance, if a nearby lightning strike affects some grounds more than others (because they are NOT bond

- Hi Stuart. I keep seeing the word BONDED. I wonder if that means some system other than soldering the conductors together? What's your method of bonding these ground connections? Thank you. -- Origin
