Hi, This is totally off topic; I apologize.
I just received the new ARRL publication "grounding and bonding for the radio amateur". It is very interesting reading. I see that the NEC requires two ground rods for regular power installations; never mind any antennas. I swear that when when I moved into this house there were absolutely no ground rods installed. I just inspected our power pole that supplies our power. I could see no wires going in to the ground. So I have no idea where our "green wire" came from. But I have have installed two 8 foot ground rods to ground my antennas and they are bonded to the AC entry panel. But what's up with this? I bet my neighbors have no ground rods installed either.
