I only use shorter ground rods when I cannot push in a longer one. Using
more shorter ground rods will cost more as there are more connections to
purchase and the soil is likely dryer near the surface so they may be less
effective.

Gentlemen,
Grounding the shack, I am planning to put a couple of grounding rods
around the
shack. I heard somewhere tha it is more efficient to use several short (4
feet)
grounding rods than one long (8 fet) rod. Does anyone knows how many short
rods
are needed for each long rod or is this a fractional number?
With best 73 de,
