Antenna earth stakes - a tricky one!

Does this matter or is good old mother earth still going to provide a good earth for my antenna system? I think you should look at an alternative ground system. For example, a copper "matt" laid over the sewer pipes instead of between them. If you have a decent earthworm population, you can lay it down on the ground and in a few years it will be buried. I'm assuming that you want something for HF work, so the size of the "squares" can be fairly large, there is no reason to use screening. If you are looking for an electrical saftey ground, for example as lightening protection, then a horizontal ground rod will do. Bury it below the "frost line" and you should be ok.
