[Antennas] static question

A single ground rod is usually inadequate.

Not knowing soil conductiviy, a mixture of salt and warted pouted 
directly adjacent to the ground, with a raised perimeter should show 
changes.

Some use copper sulfate.

Lawn damage WILL likely result.

I use six 3/4 inch diameter copperweld rods AND a 500MCM copper buried 
lattice for my ground.

YMMV
