[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1022869, member: 369937"] I like to use a true Earth ground as some house hold electrical service grounds can get quite noisy. A true Earth ground would be a ground rod driven into the Earth about 6 to 8 feet as close as you can get to the equipment being grounded, or an outside [U][B]metal cold water pipe[/B][/U]. All antennas, switches and ground blocks should be run to this ground using at least a #10 to #12 gauge copper wire with a green jacket. All this varies between locations so check with some local electricians if not certain. [/QUOTE]
