DISCUSSED LATER.  IT IS NOT GENERALLY A GOOD IDEA, AND MAY BE A VIOLATION
OF YOUR BUILDING CODE.  COUNT ON THE SAFETY GROUND TO KEEP YOU FROM GETTING
A BAD SHOCK OR WORSE.  DONT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT IT, BUT ESPECIALLY DONT TRY
TO MAKE IT INTO SOMETHING IT ISNT A STATION GROUND.  FINALLY THE STATION
GROUND.  WEVE DESCRIBED A FEW THINGS THAT ARENT A STATION GROUND.  NOW LETS
TRY TO FIND SOMETHING THAT IS.  THE STATION GROUND SHOULD BE A SINGLE POINT
AT WHICH ALL STATION EQUIPMENT GROUND TERMINALS CONNECT WITH AS SHORT A
CONNECTION AS POSSIBLE.  THIS POINT, IN TURN, SHOULD BE CONNECTED TO A
DEDICATED EARTH GROUND SYSTEM THROUGH A VERY SHORT, LOW IMPEDANCE THICK,
WIDE OR BOTH, LEAD.  FIGURE 2 SHOWS A PROPERLY CONNECTED STATION GROUND
