Hi all - Just a word of warning. I was out today doing my annual, fall
Beverage stringing. At one termination was a 4 ft ground rod
purchased last year at Radio Shack, and in the ground about a
year. It was almost completely rusted away, with no trace of
copper whatsoever - much more rust than scattered short pieces of
rebar I use as stakes for wire antennas hanging off the tower. And
we had a drought this year!
