[TowerTalk] Station and tower grounding

[Richard Thorne]

Go rent a hammer drill and purchase a ground rod adapter for installing 
ground rods.

Makes quick work of installing an 8' ground rod.

I had 5 ground rods installed in less than 30 minutes.  We have clay and 
cliche here in the Amarillo panhandle.
