In looking at your slides, slide 105, (thanks for sharing the presentation BTW), it strikes me that the coax cable braid running between radio/amp/tuner/antenna panel, would act as a bonding connection, so I would not need to add a large wire between those items. Is this correct? If not, why not?
The difference shows up at audio frequencies and for lightning. Coax between gear is usually longer than needed for bonding -- that is, dedicated bonding conductors can be shorter, thus lower inductance and resistance. See the slides that address audio buzz from power line leakage currents. At AF (and for lightning), bonding is a band-aid for Pin One Problems that is present in virtually all ham gear, computer gear, and audio gear.
