[AMPS] Ground rods?

[Tony Kazmakites]

I hooked up a hose to the end of 3/4" Cu tubing and easily pushed it down in
the sand when I lived in southern New Jersey. Did this with 3 pieces around
the tower. I question how much of a ground I really had. Ran out some
radials from the ground rods to try to help it a bit.

I live on sandy soil into which I can easily "water jet" scrapped  copper
plumbing pipe. It would seem that using such a grounding  method would be
superior to copper plated electrical ground rods since I don't need to go
down very far to hit water. As I understand it, the larger the surface area
on a ground, the better! Anybody using this relatively cheap material for
grounding?
