[TowerTalk] Ground wire impedance

It was tested by the local agriculture dept in 2000 and found to be 7.4 in
the back yard. Just tested the same area again. It was somewhere between
7-8ph.

The front yard checks out to be 5.2. Guess the aluminum hardline should be
used there - hi. Glad I used copper wire radials in the back yard.

Hi, Tony;

It would be good to know the pH of the soil where the aluminum was.
Will you please report that?
