[TowerTalk] House entrance ground for RF ground?

[Ronald D Lowrance]

Please take a look at the W8JI webpage; WWW.W8JI.COM.  Tom provides very 
good information on grounding. 

One very important point is that the majority of Amateurs Radio Operators 
ignore and disregard is the connection of the station ground rod to the 
house main entrance ground rod.  This prevents strange RF issues such as 
"ground loops".

I have also included a pdf file as a reference doc from the IEEE.








National Electric Code; the telephone service, cable TV, satellite, and 
other antenna grounds must be connected to the same ground point of the 
incoming electrical service to provide proper protection.

I have heard that some people connect the shack ground (Separate ground
rods) to the house grounding system via the earth of the mains plug in the
shack?

This is done where the house entrance ground is too far from the shack
ground and its not really possible to connect the shack ground to that of
the house?

That does not seem like a good idea to me?

Thanks for a very interesting list!
