Default Antenna earth stakes - a tricky one!

With a radial system or mesh system, you are merely fabricating an
artifical counterpoise loosely connected to earth that may give one
the perception that true theoretical 'ground' is achieved, depending
of course upon the frequency in question. A connection to earth mass
with a rod that has copper copper cladding that reacts with the ph of
the soil forms an oxide or hydroxide compound that makes the steel in
the ground rod electrically homogeous with the surrounding soil,
rendering the electrical potential of the steel in the rod at "zero"
with respect to RF radiation potentials, lightening, the power
generating generating station or conduction of electrons in any sense.


Do you sell copper clad ground rods?

With your creative explanation, you have missed your calling if you don't!
