[Antennas] Re: Problem Installation

[Jack Painter]

Adding ground rods in series would only be appropriate if required as part
of a long-distance bonding connection. Proper placement of ground rods at
the base of a tower or structure that could receive a direct attachment from
lightning should always be in a "Y" pattern. Each ground rod of the "Y"
pattern should be no closer than the sum of two ground rod's length.

The only change I would make would be a three ground rods in a line from the
base for a good Lighting ground. My granddad drilled into me there is a
difference between a DC ground and a Static Ground.
