Absolutely. When I say station grounds I start at the antenna. On a three sided mast that means three heavy duty grounds that start at the antenna and attach to three separate 8ft ground rods hammered in to the soil. Inside the shack you still need equipment grounds and not just house grounds either. Some house grounds are not all that great, and if you have GFCI breakers or outlets you can be tripping those.
