Didn't Tesla use a ground system similar to this? I think he put a
large plate into the ground mounted vertically. He then filled in the
rest of the hole with a mixture of dirt and salt. Then one could keep
adding salt and wanter to keep up a constant state of conductivity. I
don't see why this technique couldn't be transfered to a radial system.
