I am putting in a fairly short tower in my backyard; 35ft of Rohn 25g.
I will have 3 ground rods around the base. The tower is next to my house so my
ground radial field will be semi-circular.
I will be putting 8 ft ground rods every 16 ft. My lot is about 35 ft. deep so
radials will be 32 ft. Long buried about 16 in. Underground.
1. How many radials do I need and
2. What gauge solid copper wire.
Where we live in Western Oregon does not get much lightening. My antenna will
be 10-12 ft. Above the highest point of the roof.
Thanks for the help.
