Nope.  That is the same grounding scheme I've used for years. The 3rd 
pin safety ground is really all that is needed for the station inside.

As to lightning protection, that is done outside of the house and takes 
into account the tower, the rotor, the antennas and it is bonded outside 
of the house back to the AC Mains entrance ground.
