Hi,
As a newbie I would like to know when grounding why is it not feasible to
use a connection to the mains electricity supply to the equipment. After
all this is a sure way to make sure that everything is connected to a common
ground.
Some books say use water pipes and others say don't, very confusing for a
beginner, any comments on to the best approach.
What about Ground Plane is that possible with a longwire antenna ?
Why does the grounding stake need to be far away from the house, what would
a typical distance be to be considered far.
Can the cable to the grounding stake be routed in the ground ?
Your respsone to the above questions would be appreciated.
