KS,

There is not enough information about the nature of the Clay
in your Soil to advise you.

However, If you have a foot or two 'layer' of Clay that is a foot
or two below the Top Soil then a Ground Rod that is driven through
the layer of Clay and deeper into the underlying Soil should be a
good 'earthen' Ground.

Sometimes with Hard, Rocky or Clay Soil, you can 'dig' a two to
three foot wide and deep hole, and then install your Ground Rod.
Or use a Post-Hole Digger (6"-8" Dia.) and go as deep as you can
and then install your Ground Rod.

Re-Fill the 'hole' with a MIX of 2/3 'native soil' plus a Mixture
of 1/2 "Bentonite" (clay kitty litter); 1/3 Epson Salt; and 1/6
Copper Sulfate works well 'in-the-ground' around Ground Rods.

OBTW: The Grass is Always Greener - Around the Ground Rods )

An Alternative is to use a few (2-4) buried "Ground Radials" about
15'-20' for a reasonable ground, these can be place in the ground
and buried about 4"-6" deep. These Ground Radials all need to be
"Tied Together" at 'one-central-point' for your Antenna's and
Station's Main Grounding Point. Again use a a 'mixture' of 1/2
"Bentonite" (clay kitty litter); 1/3 Epson Salt; and 1/6 Copper
Sulfate at the bottom 1" of the shallow trenches that you place
your Ground Radials in.

TIP: If you are redoing your Lawn and installing an in-the-ground
Sprinkler System. Bury several Ground Radials in your Watering
Line trenches at the same time and you with have an effective
Ground System.

My yard has a lot of clay.
Do you think I can still get a good
antenna ground in that type of soil ?

The link doesn't work, which is too bad because it looks like such a
credible source. One might think you're a bit desperate.

Oh, and BTW, others are coming out now. I'm sure this guys part of
the conspiracy too.

Not that it would matter to you because...those admirals ..why,
they're -all- liars.

There is also Steve Gardner who has been on a lot of shows and was
Kerry's gunner for two and a half months (AND ON KERRY's ACTUAL BOAT) ,
he too disputes much of what Kerry has said.

I don't recall ever saying "they're -all- liars."

But, Admiral John Pointdexter certainly "lied" during the Iran Contra hearings,
along with the Lt. Colonel liar Oliver North.

Presidents lie too..........

what was your point? Or, didn't you have one?

They were out to crucify North any way they could. If North actually lied,
he'd be in jail right now and for centuries to come. Face it, North was
just too smart for your liberals.

Third, John O'Neill, a protégé of Nixon dirty trickster Charles Colson,
obsessive Kerry critic for 35 years, and author of the Swiftboat liars' book,
has stepped into another scandal that makes his already-weak credibility look
even worse.

O'Neill insists Kerry couldn't have gone to Cambodia in 1969 because that would
have been illegal and would have gotten him "court-martialed."

Well, it's a funny story:

O'Neill said no one could cross the border by river and he claimed in an
audio tape that his publicist played to CNN that he, himself, had never been to
Cambodia either. But in 1971, O'Neill said precisely the opposite to then
President Richard Nixon.

O'NEILL: I was in Cambodia, sir. I worked along the border on the water.

NIXON: In a swift boat?

O'NEILL: Yes, sir.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

Now, O'Neill may have an explanation for this but he has not returned CNN's
calls.

What's the matter, John? Cat got your tongue? Feeling shy all of a sudden?
