[TowerTalk] Ground Rods

[Phil Jung]

Watch anything outside that is copper.  The local TV channel (Roanoke VA)
reports that last night two guys decided they could cut some copper wire up
and remove it from an industrial site, seems that the wires were live.  They
are now in the hospital.

I recently put  two ground rods in hard clay with a rented SDS demolition
drill and bit.  The trip to and from the rental store took longer than the
installation.
