I think this is starting to make sense, maybe. My RF ground rod which is directly

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.
