ok thanks for the replies guys. Main issue is that I think I am going to have to rework my electrical receptacle outlets. About half the house outlets don't have the 3 prong plug. The place where I am planning on installing the shack has no 3 prongers. I have looked inside them before and I see 3 wires inside the box so I am fairly certain the house is reasonably up to code. We have a breaker panel instead of fuses anyway. Thats the primary reason why I have been so concerned about grounding my equipment. With the 2 prong receptacles I have now, I don't think I would get the safety ground at the equipment level. I know I could probably run a small strap to the plug screw in the center of the receptacle but I'm a little leary of that. I have been reading a lot of the link provided and I think I have a better understanding now of how it works and what I should do. Once I get the receptacles updated, I should be good to go. Wont bother setting up an outside ground unless I get RF inside the shack. I hope I wont as I have no plans on running an amp and my HF rig is only 100w. I can stop most of the RF with a simple turns of coax at the entrance.

Appreciate the info and thanks!
