Nope. That is the same grounding scheme I've used for years. The 3rd
pin safety ground is really all that is needed for the station inside.
As to lightning protection, that is done outside of the house and takes
into account the tower, the rotor, the antennas and it is bonded outside
of the house back to the AC Mains entrance ground.

I've been a ham for 64 years, lived & operated in Michigan(first as
Wn8SWN/W8SWN), in Malaysia (as 9M2JJ; 1962-64), in Finland (as
OH1/K1ND/P for a week, 2003), in Maine (as WA1VZZ & K1ND for 7 years)
and now back in Michigan(as K1ND) since 1982.
I've never had a strike; I'm not on the Honor Role (by choice) ~
worked 21 DX entities since January and operate nearly everyday of the
year = some CW and some SSB.
Cheers, Jan K1ND
