Hi Tech 833,

I tied everything together and ran a wire
from my antenna/tower grounds around the
base of my house to my electric ground.
Seems like there's way to many sharp bends to
get it over there. I was wondering if i
could run it out further into my backyard and
then over to electric ground??? I would have
to bury wire though, just 1/2 inch under, so,
lawn mower doesn't nail it. And i was going
to add some other ground-rods along the way.
Would this be ok??? Thanks

Tech 833,

I have plenty of new ground-rods,wire and clamps,so, whatever way i can get it to electric box ground without so many bends, i can do
without having to buy anything new.

That would be fine. Still, just make sure it is ALL bonded, no matter if you need bends or not.
