And so I am thinking it would be wise to also ask: I was going to bolt MY
copper bulkhead to the side of my metal building, but run the low impedance
copper ground straight down to the earth from the bulkhead. Am I actually

Bosh I say. But what do I know? I still just disconnect everything when I
am not using the station.
