[1000mp] Grounding

I sure would not unless the house electrical ground is right next to
your station! You will end up with a difference in potential at the two
points if there is any distance between the two.

Everyone needs to remember "ground" is a reference, not an absolute!

Regarding Grounding - I gather it is best to tie the ground on your home

electrical service (which is to the cold water supply in my house for 
instance - to the ground to the station.

By the way, I had some "re-plumbing" done this year and now have a 
section of plastic piping down stream from the meter and so will have to
jumper that to get back to the rest of the copper, cold water piping, 
which was left in tact about 15 feet from the meter.....another problem 
with modern plumbing methods I presume!
