Andy,
You have learned something though. Those 'ground/earth' rods
aren't all they are cracked up to be, not exactly the 'best' choice in
every case (especially for lower frequencies). Not much consolation,
huh? Oh well, that's the way it goes...

Hi Doc,
Yep I guess I've learned that earth rods on there own are a no-go for
end-fed wires at those frequencies. I shell know better next time.

This does sound rather defeatist. While ground rods alone may not be the
'ultimate', surely they are usually be adequate for listening-only
purposes?
