[TowerTalk] height of ground rod at tower base

[dwkanepe at aol.com]

The NEC (NFPA-70) requires 8 feet of the ground electrode to be in ground contact....if a 10 foot rod is used, the termination is permitted to be above ground, as long as it is suitably protected against physical damage.

Another thought for Jeff -- last I looked at NEC, they want ground rods 
at the service entrance to be completely buried, with the connection 
below grade. There's a specified depth, don't remember what it is.
