I wish there some sort of inoculation that hams could get that would allow
them to discern the difference between a power line safety ground (required
by code) and a lightning ground that is designed to dissipate large amounts
of energy due to a lightning strike. The ham reflectors are full of accounts
of putting in X number of ground rods, measuring the resistance at power line
frequencies and being fooled into thinking they have a good lightning ground.
