Hi Bob,

My antennae use the same radial field of 60 or so 130' radials. The
radial plate is 360' from the house. The only connection between the
house and the radial field is via the coax shield. Are you suggesting
I run a length of additional wire from one of the radials to the
grounding point of the service entrance ground rod?

Gary, KA1J

As to having a RF ground, a ground radial system below your antenna is the
reference point for that antenna.  Several antennas can share the same
radial system. Also that radial system must be bonded back to the service
entrance ground.
