[Elecraft] Confessions of grounding

[Edward R Cole]

Probably using braid or multi-strand wire would make it easier.  When 
I wired my safety ground to my 8877 PA chassis from ground rod, 
outside, I bought No. 8 awg.  Still pretty stiff.  I have 8-32 studs 
for connection.  2m-8877 was sold in June now all sspa with 12/28/50v PS.

But one thing I did in my shack design was leave at least 30-inch 
space behind My radio table and racks for wiring access to the 
backside of my equipment.  Maybe not something one can do with 
existing station layout but keep in mind if doing renovations.  This 
winter I am making major layout changes now that my PA's will be 
outside at the base of towers or the dish.  I have 17 coax lines 
coming into the shack and about the same number control 
cables.  Stuff gets rearranged often.  It is said that EME is 90% 
maint./engineering and 10% operating.  By end of 2019 hopefully QRV 
on five eme bands and 630m to 3cm in wavelength (not all eme).

Three towers and one dish (so far)
