Hi Jack

I missed something in the above: you said an 8ft rod driven 10ft into
the ground? Does that mean the top of the rod is buried 2ft?

Then driving such a rod every 2x rod depth feet would mean one every
20ft vs every 16ft?

What would be the recommended connecting conductor between all the
points? Big honking cable or copper strapping?

I haven't purchased the ICE unit yet until I had gotten some feedback
so making that change is no problem.

So you would suggest two ICE units? One at the antenna base and another
at the station ground?

BTW, I'm wondering if any installation has ever met the codes you cited
other than a dedicated broadcast transmitting facility. Certainly would
be the exceptional (1%) residence in my experience.

thanks for your help!
