Hi,

This is totally off topic; I apologize.

I just received the new ARRL publication "grounding and bonding  for the
radio amateur". It is very interesting reading. I see that the NEC requires
two ground rods for regular power installations; never mind any antennas. I
swear that when when I moved into this house there were absolutely no ground
rods installed. I just inspected our power pole that supplies our power. I
could see no wires going in to the ground. So I have no idea where our
"green wire" came from.

But I have have installed two 8 foot ground rods to ground my antennas and
they are bonded to the AC entry panel. But what's up with this? I bet my
neighbors have no ground rods installed either.
