[ICOM] Grounding

[William Diamond]

Hi folks,

I spent a few hours today with an engineer from the power company as I had a
whole house surge device put on my main electrical service.

He said that my present grounding setup is a problem, i.e.., separate ground
rods for the tower as well as the radio room.  He said that I needed "single
point" grounding system with the tower and radio room tied into the main
power company ground so there will not be a difference of potential.

He said that a small wire such as #10 will be fine.

Has anyone else heard of this?
