- 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 _____________________________________________
