Yes... Quite right. It ultimately all ties together. I was only
describing the rods in the immediate vicinity of the shack.
There is a stretch of heavy cable (6 gauge I think) , and
more rods running round the corner and along the side of
the house, making a single-point ground bonded to the
the electrical service ground.

Happy Trails.

you run a greater risk that not having a ground. During a lightnibg strike
you want everything to rise to the same potential and then return AT THE
SAME TIME. Not having all the grounds bonded run the risk of a voltage
gradient of several KV or MV!
