[TowerTalk] Ground system

[Tower (K8RI)]

This might help: http://www.rogerhalstead.com/ham_files/ground.htm
It's the method I use and works well in sand or clay. It does not work well
in rocky soil.
It took several bouts with a 12# sledge to about one or two minutes with
only a bit of effort, although I did get pretty wet a couple of times.

It's fast and efficient with minimal effort.
