Hi,

I am wondering what limitations are on the length of the ground wire
lead from the transformer/balun to the ground rod? Thanks,

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.

This is wrong. You do not want the AC power supply return to be your RF
ground. There is a lot noise on the power ground. You want a ground
under the antenna ideally and one that is not used for any other purpose.
