Hi,

I am wondering what limitations are on the length of the ground wire
lead from the transformer/balun to the ground rod? Thanks,

There is no requirement to to ground the BalUn (UnUn) directly. The
antenna lead (coaxial cable outer conductor) must be grounded at the point
where it enters the building. That is where the main ground should be.
