Mostly when I install copper pipes for ground rods, normally I install the same amount at the termination pot and for the matching tranformer ground. I would think that a better ground at the termination pot is needed more than the matching transformer side? Any thoughts? Of course my yard in filled with copper pipe these days. Limke with the new NE EWE, I have two-5 foot copper pipes in at both the termination and the matching transformer. They are all down in the ground sitting in water anyway. I may add one or two more at each end as they might be needed in the Summer when things get drier. The one I added today, I pushed it halfway down. The ground is really sopping wet here. I do like the pattern the new NE EWE has though. Like a bit ago, KARI Blaine WA (550) was dominant over KOAC. KARI puts little power South, as they protec KOAC Corallis OR. I could get KARI mixing in the past with a phase, but nothing better. I also still very surprised how well the dinky EWE works (15X40X15).
