I think this is starting to make sense, maybe. My RF ground rod which is directly
under the station about 6' directly down, also ties to a series of additional rods
about 10 feet apart in both directions from that first rod (I am thinking this is
like a radial since the bare wire connecting them is also on the earth (?).


Hi Bill,

The additional ground rods don't do much, RF-wise. You are far better
off with wire laid out radially on or just below the ground surface.
However, what you have is good.

Should I connect the furthest rod of this series to the house mains ground rod which is
actually not that far away at that point? Would I be ok then?


Depends on what you mean by furthest, but it sounds OK. Look at my
answer in the other post.
