[TowerTalk] Ground Rods

[Tom Anderson]

8 foot ground rods are usually at most home inprovement centers like Home Depot or Lowe's.  However, I did see some 10 footers at a Home Depot near Beaver Creek Colorado in the summer of 2009. Haven't seen any 10 footers anyplace else where you can just walk in and buy them.
