[TowerTalk] Ground rods with jack hammer drill

[Hank]

I rented one of those at Home Depot when I put in my only ground rod. It was
relatively easy in our hard Rocky Mountain soil. If I had to do again, I
would figure out a way to keep the tip  of the ground rod from deforming
with the jackhammer effect.
