Here we go AGAIN ... on grounding. The problem is most "ham" 
grounding setups don't meet codes and are poorly constructed.

Check the sources who know, like the Polyphaser site. Less than
accurate advice on this topic can lead to some serious damage.

The commercial sites don't run out and disconnect everything 
when the clouds form. Ditto for the VHF/UHF ham FM systems. 

The goal IS to everything at the same potential by having them 
common. Keep them apart and they WILL be at different potentials.

That IS a recipe for damage.

73 de Billy, AA4NU  ... no connection with Polyphaser, other than
                             using their products for years with no damage.
