Topband: Beverage Termination Question

[k1fz]

Dennis,

Best to use a seperate ground rod, as signals can couple through a common 
ground rod connection. Seperation needed depends upon type of earth. Try 5 
feet from others.  Beverage notes   www.qsl.net/k1fz/beveragenotes.html

 I want to put up a temporary, single wire 358 degree beverage for the 
winter. The angle between the two antennas will be approximately 45 degrees. 
Can I ground the 470 ohm termination resistor for the single wire beverage 
to the same ground system used by the NE/SW bi-directional without serious 
interaction?

 Or must I drive a separate ground rod for the single wire antenna? If so, 
how far must it be spaced from the bi-directional ground system?
