David:
I recommend you use a two-hole crimp lug and stainless steel nuts, bolts
and split lockwashers at the ground window end of a #2 solid copper wire. Try
Harger ( http://www.harger.com/grounding.htm , then click on 1.8.3 Two Hole
Long Barrel Compression Lugs ) or similar lugs.
At the ground rod use a Cadweld One-Shot charge, available from The RF
Connection, www.therfc.com ) and others. I would not recommend a bolted
connection at the rod.
