Hi, How would I go about putting a #4 ground wire between the station ground and the house electrical ground? The wire would have to make a 90 degree turn to connect the 2 locations. Could a 8ft grou

Where's your 'station ground' - inside or out? What sort of ground system do you have? Are you referring to the house electrical ground groundrod? Sure. What sort of distance are you talking about be

If anyone drills through a concrete floor (or laterally through a basement wall) to install ground rods, make sure you seal around the holes/rods with a good quality flexible sealing compound. Otherw

If grounding should be done in a low impedance fashion why do I always see the service entrance ground on homes to be nothing more than a AWG#4 wire about 5ft long from the service box to the ground

First, because electricians are mostly pipe benders and wire pullers, and rarely have technical education. Heck -- even most hams still think of lightning as a DC event, not the RF event that it acua

While the electricians might be benders and pullers (and a experienced journeyman is substantially better than that), they don't write the code. The folks on the code review panels DO know about ligh
