[RFI] w7ekb & ground rods

[K1FZ-Bruce]

  I use thick wall 3/4 inch copper pipe from local hardware stores. 
Beating the ground end of a segment into a point with a hammer, makes 
the insertion into the ground easier. It can skid around smaller rocks
  better.

The copper coated rods eventually will deteriorate, I've found too. 
After pulling them out I've found them speckled where the copper has 
eroded away and the base material shown. I like the solid copper tubing 
as ground rods better, but they are not that easy to embed. Use water 
to get them in the ground.
