[TowerTalk] Using 3" Copper strap

This post got my attention.  I have 15 ground rods to do.  N5OT is
definitely living on borrowed time at this point.

Any sense of the pros/cons of this approach from the ground gurus?  if it's
a copper clad ground rod, then isn't the bulk of the contact area NOT
copperskin-to-copperskin?  Would this be a problem (my guess-yes-but I'm
only an amateur).

JERRY, how do you weatherize this after you've done it?
