Hi,


I am wondering what limitations are on the length of the ground wire

There is no requirement to to ground the BalUn (UnUn) directly. *The
antenna lead (coaxial cable outer conductor) must be grounded at the point
where it enters the building. *That is where the main ground should be.

OK So you have a Noisy AC Mains Ground; and that's all
the Ground you got.
