[TowerTalk] Station Ground

[Gary J - N5BAA]

1 to 1 1/2 inch tinned copper braid or copper foil from your grounding plate 
located at operating position to the ground rod.  All other equipment 
including the radio grounded to the grounding plate.  I use 1/4 inch braid 
from each piece of equipment to the grounding plate.  At the grounding rod 
each coax running through an Alpha Delta TT3G50 surge suppressor attached to 
the ground rod on the same copper plate that the station ground attaches to.

Shack location dictates using a 25-30 foot ground level run from a new hams 
TS-530S to an exterior ground rod. He was planning on using #12 for the run 
but wonders if braid from RG-8 or a larger diameter single wire etc would 
offer improvement over a single wire?

Comments appreciated.
