[TowerTalk] Re: Ground Rods & Ohms

[Jamey Brookover]

There has been a wealth of information in this thread about the theory
and practice of proper grounding procedures.  Getting back to basics for
a moment, how does a 6 foot tall person safely / properly / *easily*
manage to get an 8 foot ground rod into the ground in the first place? 
The picture of someone standing on a step ladder swinging a 16 pound
sledge hammer is not a pretty sight.  Are any special tools available to
aid in this process, and how do the pros do this day in and day out? 
When I lived in West Virginia I was once told a story about Appalachian
rock worms....  Please -- No limmericks!
