[TowerTalk] Fwd: Fwd: Cad welding vs clamps

John,


Wouldn't the soil condition have the same effect on a rod pushed in  and a buried strap?

That depends on your soil conditions.  Some of us have shale, rock and/or
hard clay making it impossible to push in a full 8' ground rod.

What would work if you bury it deep enough. I would believe 8 feet of strap
buried 4 feet down should be equal to an 8 foot rod pushed down 8 feet.


Any comments?


I do think it is less work to push the rod down than to dig a trench for the
strap.

What if one were not to use a ground rod and just bury the strap?
