a ground rod, but also his coax to the radio will tie him in to the
service ground of the residence.




Why would his coax tie him to the service ground?


Radio antenna connector to radio chassis ground.
Radio chassis ground to radio power plug. Radio power
plug to wall outlet. Wall outlet to service ground.


What if he's using a power supply and mobile radio?
