[TowerTalk] Ground Rods - Steel or Copper Clad Steel?

[Bob Wanderer]

As a general rule, the eastern part of North America is acidic
and the western half is alkaline.  Do a pH test to be sure.  You
can use the same product as is used to check pools and spas.
Call PolyPhaser for further details.

Could you suggest what mine may be, please?

I'm in central Gulf coast FL.  Very sandy, clay mixes in down
a couple of feet but doesn't dominate for several feet down.

Mostly oak and other hardwoods, few pines.  Fairly good
moisture in the soil most of the time.

Thanks! & 73, DavidC  K1YP
