Is there a significant difference between using the galvanized steel
ground rods and copper to create an rf gound?

Hi Bob,

Two answers for that:
1. No difference whatever;
B. Neither make an RF ground.

Updates will follow this brief announcement.

Looks like my follow up post didn't make it through.

Richard I intend these three ground rods to be the start of grounding my
station, not as a counterpoise for one of my antennas. These will be bonded
to my radios and the electrical service entrance ground.

Why do you say this does not make an RF ground?

Thanks, Bob
