Single Point Ground Pictures

A while back, Rick, K2XT, offered on the TowerTalk reflector to send pictures of his single point ground for his station in the basement. Rick sent them to me and graciously offered to have them published on the blog. I really appreciate it.

The first picture is of the Single Point Ground mounted on the floor joists. You can see the installation has lots of components.

The second picture is a closer view of the components:

Note that everything is connected to the copper plate and then exits to the lightening protection system.

Rick – thanks for sharing!
