Mostly Bruce is right. But, I`ve worked in many broadcast plants and can
assure you that the radial grounding system is more than adequate as a
power distribution ground except for code compliance which may require a
ground rod and/or connection to a metallic water pipe. The radials are
the best RF ground.
