I am planning on adding (or replacing) some ground rods to my tower 
ground. The present rods have been in about 8 years. Should I 
assume these are corroded, leave them as is, and just add additional 
rods/connections as if they don't exist? Would there be any harm in 
leaving the old rods connected, such as oversaturating an area of 
ground in case of a hit?
Tnx/Barry
