Hello Tom
I did not appreciate copper pipe of different lengths gives lower resistance.
10 footers are a none starter here. Would 3 x 3 foot copper ground rods be
around 10 Ohms or are the mathematics not as simple as that? I use a EWE
antenna where grounding is
Nick and Barry,
Here in my backyard where the soil is wet and swampy a lot of the year,

No one has mentioned what a good ground RESISTANCE is. Here is my two cents
worth.
Since last fall I have been measuring ground resistance from four TEST
ground rods in my back yard. The rod specs are as follows; one 3/4
