[Antennas] static question

Thu May 14 20:45:43 EDT 2009

A single ground rod is usually inadequate.
Not knowing soil conductiviy, a mixture of salt and warted pouted 
directly adjacent to the ground, with a raised perimeter should show 
changes.
Some use copper sulfate.
Lawn damage WILL likely result.
I use six 3/4 inch diameter copperweld rods AND a 500MCM copper buried 
lattice for my ground.
YMMV
