[TowerTalk] Station Ground

[Keith Dutson]

I use the Harger copper bar available from AES.  It came with hardware and a
few straps to connect equipment.  It's easy to make more straps if you have
some copper braid and terminals.  The Harger bar is connected to my
window-mounted bulkhead via 1.5 inch copper braid.  The bulkhead is where
all antennas and control cables are connected, and is connected to two
ground rods just outside the window using 6 gauge copper wire.

How do people attach their rigs to a bus-bar (or similar)?  The bigger the
ground wire the better, but most rigs/amps have small, somewhat fragile
grounding posts.  How do others out there connect a nice hefty ground wire
to their rig or amp?  Also, how do people attach the wires to the bus-bar or
ground rod?  Bolts?  U-Clamps?  Solder?  Any advice would be appreciated.
