[TowerTalk] Best methnods for grounding the ham shack?

[Herb Rosenberg]

I am interested in hearing about the best methods for grounding the ham 
shack, to mimimize the potential for RFI.  I am looking to move to a new 
QTH, and build a ham shack addition to the house.  Someone along time ago 
was talking about cutting a hole in the exterior wall, and mounting and 
18 inch square plate in the wall, with bulkhead connectors for the coax 
cables, and then grouning the equipment to this plate on one side, and 
then ground the plate to an earth ground on the other side.  He claimed 
this was absoultely the best way to minimize RFI.  

Does this method work?  Is this considered to be good approach, or what 
would you suggest?  I really want to do this right, so I would appreciate 
your suggestions and feedback.

Thanks.
