Does any one have information about creating an ' ice ground' under a
tower instead of or as well as using wire radials when using a tower as
a vertical. In this area of VE5 land there is a lot of potash in the
soil. I have been thinking of keeping the ground within a 40' radius of
the tower wet (I am restricted by the lot boundary) as  the frost sets
in hoping to trap more of the potassium chloride ions in the in the ice
and increase its conductivity. Does anyone have any information or
suggestions about using this approach?

tnx Sylvan
