[TowerTalk] Re: Ground rod material

[Barry]

Home Depot has both copper and galv grounds rods. The galv rods are 
several dollars cheaper. I installed about 1/2 of each when I did the 
ground field for my tower (3 rods each leg, cadwelds, etc.) I haven't 
had the opportunity to dig any of them up to see which decay more 
slowly.
