Very true Laryn, however, he was not describing a single point ground, just a ground system for the equipment in the shack, probably a better ground then the house ground. Until he get a single point ground for EVERYTHING I'll bet his new ground is better then the house ground so which was do you think the current will flow? Try putting a volt meter between two different grounds, you will probably get a reading.
