[TowerTalk] Removing Ground Rods - fini

[john at kk9a.com]

If this is for a temporary winter antenna I am still questioning why  
you would want to remove the ground rod and then later re-install it.  
If you're removing it for mowing, you could cut it at ground level and  
put it in an irrigation valve box for easy access later.  At my QTH, I  
wish that I could get an 8' rod into the ground and I would never  
think about removing it.

Thanks to everyone who suggested things.  I'm going to try Visegrips and
a board under my car's scissors jack tomorrow, and if that doesn't work
I'll just cut the ground rod off below the surface.  I have a small
station, and it's not worth investing in special-purpose hardware.
