[TowerTalk] House entrance ground for RF ground?

[Billy Cox]

You can use 3" copper strap buried in the ground to 
go from one point to the other, spaced away from the
house and with a wide radius for any needed bends. 

I did that here with the telephone entry 30' down one 
wall and the utility/CATV entry 'around the corner' and 
down another wall from the shack's SPG.
