Keep in mind this Sole purpose of a BC station is to get coverage of about 60 
miles running 5KW day time and 1 KW night time with no fad and quality signal 
not to work DX.

I read in some posts or on some web site that it does not matter if the ends 
are tied to a ground rod or not.  Note then ends not at the base of the 
vertical.

My backyard is only 35 by 36 feet.  You guys only think you have a small back 
yard.  Compare it with this one.

The City water pipe system sure works as the good ground I guess so does the 
neighbors plumbing cause their house in only 8 feet from mine :-)
