1 to 1 1/2 inch tinned copper braid or copper foil from your grounding plate
located at operating position to the ground rod. All other equipment
including the radio grounded to the grounding plate. I use 1/4 inch braid
from each piece of equipment to the grounding plate. At the grounding rod
each coax running through an Alpha Delta TT3G50 surge suppressor attached to
the ground rod on the same copper plate that the station ground attaches to.

Shack location dictates using a 25-30 foot ground level run from a new hams
TS-530S to an exterior ground rod. He was planning on using #12 for the run
but wonders if braid from RG-8 or a larger diameter single wire etc would
offer improvement over a single wire?
Comments appreciated.
