[TowerTalk] Re: Ground rod material

[EUGENE SMAR]

Chuck:

     I bought my copper ground rods from RF Connections.  They also carry
galvanized 5/8 inch rods.  Check out www.therfc.com .  It might be expensive
to ship, though.  Try a local Home Despot or similar.  They should have them
in their electrical supplies department.
