Ground Rod Selection

As a lone time listener but relative newbie to the tech, I've been educating myself on system basics including ground questions. Currently using a marginal 1.0 m steel post as a ground for a shortwave Rx application. Intention is to upgrade to a 8 - 10 ft ground rod (the only ground off of a 9:1 balun - post ground and balun bracket - that a coax feedline connects with the Rx; this associated with an inverted "L" antenna). I've read plenty of references to copper rod or copper clad ground rods but I've yet to have any local suppliers recognize this (let alone be able to supply). Standard availability in my area are galvanized steel ground rods. Are these of equivalent quality? Close enough. |
