[TowerTalk] Station ground and ground loops

[K3GM]

'Mornin 'tawkers, and Happy New Year.  I'm running ac lines to a new shack
location, and got to thinking about grounds, and ground loops.  Here's the
situation.  I have all equipment in the shack tied to a common buss bar
which is connected to a ground rod just outside the wall of the shack.  This
rod is connected in-line between the service ground rod, and  the tower
ground system.  So theoretically, all grounds are at the same potential.
Now, if I plug my equipment in to the wall outlet, I'm connecting to the
ground wire in the supply line wich runs back to the breaker panel.  Aren't
I creating an enormous loop?  I would think it would be better to ground the
supply outlets to my shack ground rod.  I'd appreciate any comments.

tnx es 7  3,

Tom K3GM
