Rick, any ground stake made of narrow rod is a poor RF ground. Look at "Antennas" by Kraus W8JK. Even in the earliest days of radio, they used ground screens or counterpoises to "complete" the antenn

To put Steve's (G3TXQ) figures on a ground rod alone into a perspective hams can relate to, the target low impedance for 60 Hz AC ground rods in North America is 5 ohms. A 28 ohm ground rod at RF is

Target is 5 ohms but it often takes two three or more rods to achieve 5 ohms unless in a salt marsh swamp. Fresh water swamp land doesn't do as well. A 20 ohm ground is more typical. 73, Jerry, K0CQ

How did you measure the efficiency? Or was it from a model? Frank To illustrate Ken's point, here are some measurements I made on the feedpoint resistance of my 160m 40ft top-loaded vertical as I add

Frank, Efficiency was calculated, knowing that Rrad should be 5 Ohms. So for example with just the ground rod, efficiency = 5/33 = 15.15% 73, Steve G3TXQ _____________________________________________
