Regards.
On an old HF amateur radio installation, now dismantled, not in use since the seventies, the wire connecting from the transceiver to the buried grounding rod had a sustantial toroidal ferrite on it. The grounding wire just passing inside, no multiple turns.
Curious of what is such use for ? What would be the purpose/effect of having a ferrite toroid O about 50mm outside diametre, 10 mm thick, 30mm inside diametre at the grounding rod connection ?
