I attached grounding kits to all my home electronics, and installed a main grounding bar in the dining room (behind the buffet table) to which I connected all the kitchen/living room electrical equipment. I have a second grounding bar upstairs to which all the electronics in the bedrooms and office are connected. From there the two main grounding bars are exothermally connected to a master grounding bar in the garage with two #2 insulated copper strand. From the MGB, two #2 copper wires are connected to an outside ground halo ring buried in a 42" deep trench surrounding my house (42" deep to be below frost line). The ground halo has 3' deep grounding wells at 10' on center, with solid copper ground rods to ensure strong electrical contact with the earth.
only one thing - an EMP is like a big physics experiment - very interesting from a technical point of view - full spectrum Extreme Magnitude Electro-Magnetic Fields & Energy.

But every loop of wire - including a half loop, i.e. a straight piece of wire, will have a current induced in it, if it is in the path of an EMP. therefore the ground wire needs to be shielded - and even that is not a guarantee.


So if ANYONE can find more information on that, please please PLEASE post it here, because I have been trying to find out how to do what he was doing, but it seems teh article/post is gone with the wind.
QST magazine is the #1 Ham magazine.

if there was a hack/ mash-up along these lines, good chance they would cover it.

Ham Radio on the Internet - different than using Ham to access the Internet - but close and useful -
