Rob,
I see that you are in the UK so the concept of a US National Electric Code does not apply to you so you may regard this as good engineering practice instead. Joe, The National Electric Code specifies in section 250 that all grounds must be bonded together at the safety ground for the service entrance. Your insurance will take a dim view of non-compliant installations.

This should reduce noise from any mains supplied appliances. You could use a third rod for the antenna no problem. Good luck, Rob (M0LET) "Joe" wrote in message news:5Xaae.9574$NU4.2639@attbi_s22... Just moved into my new home and I am in the process of building my shack in my basement. I would like to use my house ground rod and run a heavy copper wire from it to a ground strip on my table in my shack for my rig and amp. I would also like to use this ground rod to ground my Butternut H9V vertical antenna. Do you folks think it would be OK to do this or should I buy another ground rod to install it for the shack and vertical? Thanks for your help. |
