Good afternoon,
I have a curious question about bonding the shack and antenna system to the mains for the experts.
I am moving into a new house and setting up my shack and was considering putting my entrance panel near the house mains for easy ground bonding. With this I would run the coax and control lines through the attic to the shack as I have done in the past. Then I noticed, and this is where the question comes in, that I have easy access to the panel after the meter on the pole in the front yard that feeds the house.
This panel is closer by 60ft and a much easier run. I could make the entrance panel right outside the shack and bond the entrance panel for the coax/ control lines to a ground rod and then run the bonding line, with a couple more ground rods, to the pole.
My question is would this work better, worse, or just as well as gong through the attic and using the outside house panel which is further away.
Thanks in advance,
Bob
