Hi,

I know of two different views about station grounding.  The first says that 
you need a single point ground centered at your home's electric grounding 
point, usually a grounding rod.

The second theory says that you should have two separate grounds, one for 
your electricity and the other for your station.  This second group believes 
that if you hook your station ground up to the electric  ground, more 
lightning will enter your station then if you leave them separated since 
most lightning comes in via the power line.

I don't know which theory is correct, but my station is well grounded to a 
single point ground and so far so  good.  I haven't used the electrical 
ground because its just too far from my tower..
