    I'm not aware of any site useful for learning about ground systems. The 
PolyPhaser is semi-useful since it's orientation is more theoretical and is 
at the commercial side of the market.

    There is a PolyPhaser booklet called "Protection to Keep You 
Communicating" that isn't bad. I also have a reprint of an article I wrote on 
ham grounding. They're a buck each from Box 572, Woodinville, WA, 98072.

    There are ground system measurement systems available but they aren't ham 
products (MFJ, are you listening? Here's a new product for you!). Your best 
way to tell is to do your homework and learn more about them. You can also go 
into the TowerTalk archives at www.contesting.com for various threads.
