[TowerTalk] Brazing ground wires to copper-clad ground rods

[NØATH]

Tim,
I would think that either Silfloss ( sp) or simple bronze welding rod would 
be more than sufficient.
Silfloss is used to build the line set on your central air system in your 
house. Either one of them
will hold tons with no porosity. Silfloss will work at a lower temperature.
