Detached Grounding Locations (#557)

Jay, W4BLU, wants to put his shack in a building roughly a hundred feet from the electric meter. He doesn’t know if using this location and connecting the grounds from such a long distance is a good idea. He asks, " Do you see a potential problem in using the detached building?" Watch to learn more.
