Ground is RF ground. The way I install grounds is not in the "book" but
here goes. I have done this several times for RF grounds. Take a 10ft
length of copper tube, sweat a hose fitting on one end. Hook a water
hose to it, get on a ladder with tube and hose in hand, have wife turn
on water as you hold open end to the ground. The waster flow will cut a
hole for the tube to go into. If you don't have rocky soil you can have
a 10ft grounding rod. If rocky go as far as you can and do it again and
have 2 5ft rods. Tie the two rods together and away you go.

I sure do.  8am to 5pm with an hours commute each way.  All the work you
see
is been done late at night and into the early hours of the morning.  I'm
not
running on much sleep right now ;)  I'm so excited to get finished and
see
how it works.  Thanks for the compliments.

One on each side of the NST is in parallel with the spark gap right?  I
don't understand.  If the current is already jumping across the spark
gap
how does jumping across a second gap in parallel with the first gap help
it
out any?  Is it because of the third terminal to ground?  Oh and when
you
say ground do you mean the green wire from the 110 volt A/C mains
supply?
