That's interesting. What's a "true earth ground"?


It is the reference point to which all electromagnetic phenomena on Earth is
at zero potential.

What are its properties?


A magnitude of zero.

How could you connect an antenna to it?


With a conductive material.


Thanks. I see it's time for me to leave this discussion.
