I'm improving the grounding at my station and need a source for

Cadweld One-Shot devices.  I've cleaned out RF Connections of the 

ones I can use.  I will be using 5/8" x 8' copper-clad rods.


Also, has anyone brazed the grounding wire (got a great deal on many

feet of #2) to the rod.  Suggestions regarding this method welcomed.


How much better is the exothermic technique compared to the mechanical

clamping method?


If I have to use direct-burial clamps, in a daisy-chain setup, do I

have to break the wire at each rod and use 2 clamps or can I just 

go in the bottom and out the top using 1 clamp.


Crude diagram of what I regard as a "daisy chain" setup:


--- = wire     0 = ground rod

------0--------0--------0--------0-----


Thanks,

Tim
