Well, the most obvious cure for a diode action occurring at the junction
of the radials and ground rod is 5 mins of periodic maintenance. I do
this on every ground rod I have, maybe every two months, whether I have
reason to suspect it or not. And at the same time, dump another bag of
rock salt ( I don't know if it helps or not, but it doesn't hurt ) in
the holes where the ground rods are. ( use a post hole digger to leave
about a foot deep hole around each hole.
