[TowerTalk] Ground clamps on 25G

[N. S. FIRESTONE]

Hello Bob et al;
In the electrical contracting business we always use the bronze "acorn"
connector to a (actually 2) galvanized ground rods. This is UL approved
and there must be millions of these installations around the country that
have been in the ground  for years. I have never seen that part of the
installation fail from corrosion. Correct installation requires the full
eight foot ground rod to be in the ground which means the connector is
underground for its whole life! Lawn mowers and shovels maybe, but never
corrosion. 

73 de Nate, W3SVJ, in Pittsburgh where it's not so smokey anymore.
