Hi,

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

Hi Garth,
As long as you use a nice grd wire like 14, 16, 18 or even 20 it will be
OK.
Be sure that the rod is getting a good grd like a wet spot in your yard
and like 6,8 or 10 ft' long, deeper the better.

Just keep it as short as you can. Here, my ground wires from the matching
transformers are 9' long, into 8' ground rods.

It may do undesirable things, like add directivity.

I was messing around and found that putting my 9:1 transformer at various
lengths along the antenna away from the ground rod, I was able to cancel
out the neighbor's light dimmers, but only on one band at a time. That
meant that it was also nulling any radio stations in that direction,
too.
