Homebrew station ground ready for action.

Devised a ground system for my shack based on a design from the 2009
ARRL Handbook. Total cost: under $20.

A 2-foot, half-inch copper pipe and stainless steel hose clamps allow
connections to multiple pieces of station gear.


External view shows where tinned ground braid exits
the garage wall and connects to a 6-foot ground rod.


Inside view shows ground braid running inside the station several 
inches from the garage floor and up to the 2-foot, half-inch copper pipe.

Braid is connected to the pipe using a stainless steel hose clamp.

View also shows ground braids running down from gear above and
attaching to copper pipe.


Detail showing connecting of external ground
braid connecting to copper pipe and connection
for equipment ground.
