Proper Station Grounding is Important!
... Build your ham radio station with effective grounding and bonding techniques



  • AC safety protects against shock hazards from ac-powered equipment by providing a safe path for current when a fault in wiring or insulation occurs.
  • Lightning protection keeps all equipment at the same voltage during transients from lighting and dissipate the lightning’s charge in the Earth, routing it away from equipment.
  • RF management prevents unwanted RF currents and voltages from disrupting the normal functions of equipment (also known as RF interference or RFI).

    Grounding and Bonding for the Radio Amateur shows you how to make sure your station follows current standards for lightning protection and communication systems, not to mention the National Electrical Code. You’ll learn effective grounding and bonding techniques for home stations, including condos and apartments, portable and temporary stations, as well as towers and outside antennas.

    It is a good reference book and definitely worth reading. It describes most scenarios anyone wanting to protect electronics and ham gear including antennas from static or lightning will encounter. I took off a star and considered taking two off for the following reasons. 1.) in each case it describes the ideal soulution and then says "do the best you can" without decribing the limits on doing less that ideal or the impacts, 2.) it is very qualitative, it does not get very specific or make an attempt at including examples with wire size, residual voltages with protection, typical damage levels, etc. or use equations to describe solutions.

    It covers everything including grounds, bonding, protection devices, ground busses, etc.

    As an example it describes a "lightning loop" in coax. I would like to know a typical diameter, number of turns and turns spacing. I have spent time in the field with tower professionals and know they have a minimum and a typical. It would be even better if the description had a little math to explain it. Something like "X kilo-amps with Y nano sec rise times can be attenuated with Z uH of inductance". No heavy math, just enough to add to the descrption and put things in context.

    Grounding and Bonding for the Radio Amateur 1 ARRL Inc Ward Silver N0AX Reviews


    This is a really good book. One that should be on every HAMs bookcase. This book validated what I knew and taught me many new things when it comes to bonding and grounding. It also removed the myth of an RF ground. Rather, it is RF management.
    I found this book not only covered lightning issues but also electrical, RF and many more subjects dealing with station setup. This a great book if you setting up a station. It is for beginners and long time hams. A must read for radio amatures .
    A good introductory book with many good references. The authors have done a very good job of editing source material and collecting it in one concise reference.
    This book is filled with lots useful information. It also included tons of external references to additional information. Ward's writing is clear and concise.

    This book should be required reading for any ham, if for no other reason than to check that your existing station installation is a safe one. I found some things I did right, some things I did not so right and some things I hadn't thought about.
    Great book. I enjoy Wards writing for the ARRL. This is new and up to date. Reinforced what I have done for grounding and bonding and forced me to redo a couple things better than I originally had done.
    This easy to read book demystifies one of the most misunderstood issues in amateur radio - how correctly ground an amateur radio station. Using a mix of theory and sound technical procedures, Silver, a noted world-class author in the amateur radio community, sets out a tutorial that is a must read for radio amateurs. This book is highly recommended and is destined to become a classic of amateur radio literature.
    A *VERY* in-depth treatment of the subject for your station. I bought this book after a lightning strike last summer took out 3 computers, the main station 12V power supply, damaged my SX-73 (a TUBE radio!) and killed my Ten-Tec Pegasus.
    If I integrate just a portion of the suggestions in this book, I'll still be 1000% better prepared than I was
    Be ready to invest in a LOT of copper, though, rod, plate, and strap...
