[TowerTalk] Grounding loss resistance

[Pete Smith]

In modeling structures attached to a real (non-miniNEC) ground, EZNEC
cautions that results may be invalid because no value has been specified
for the loss resistance in the grounding connection.

Lacking the means to measure such resistance directly, I'm wondering if
anyone knows of  rule-of-thumb resistance values to use for situations such
as guy anchors embedded in concrete -- Rohn standard style -- and tower
bases set on or in concrete and grounded through a fairly typical grounding
system, such as 3 x 8 foot ground rods and #2 copper wire.

Thanks in advance, folks...
