[TowerTalk] Cadweld vs clamps

I think both methods are effective.  I have used both.

My experience shows the difference is time.  No clamp can be expected to
maintain its contact area with the wire and rod in soil over a long period
of time due to chemical reaction between the soil, wire, clamp and rod.
Cadweld solves this problem by isolating the chemical action to external
parts of the connection.

I watched the video about Cadweld and read the info, but I'm still not
convinced it is better than old fashioned ground rod clamps.

Comments?
