How to ground a cb
- Thread starter Oldtimer
- Start date
That is the hardware that can be bought at any major hardware store for about $25 total cost:
8 ft Copper ground rod is about $9.
Grounding buss was about $6
Ground clamp was $3.
I had the multi-strand 10 ga wire - about 30 ft.
Wire lugs for 10 ga wire was ~$2
One wire lug was used on the antenna mast to the ground clamp with 26 ft of 10 ga wire, some lugs with wire from my gear to the ground buss.
Six feet of the wire was used between the ground clamp and the ground buss.
Ground buss can just be screwed into the wall with some sheet rock screws.
It has about fifteen places to use to ground all of your stuff: radio, power supply, amp, etc - to one point.
The ground rod is just outside my shack about six feet away from my radio gear...

Great pics, can you post more of the whole setup for grounding like how it goes out of the shack, how it is connected to everything and tower grounding for us all to see and learn.
