[Boatanchors] new Ground system

[Glen Zook]

In most soils, the aluminum will "disappear" in less
than 6 months!  You can use galvanized electric fence
wire that is sold by the 1/4 and 1/2 mile reels at
home improvement centers.  The cost is normally under
$10 for 1/4 mile.  I have had some of that in the
ground for almost 30 years.  But, I know of several
local amateurs who put in thousands of feet of
aluminum wire for counterpoises for verticals that,
when they just happened to pull on the end of the
wire, about 6 inches came out.  The rest had basically
disentegrated.

Have you considered getting a 1000' reel of aluminum
#4 wire used for grounding TV masts? Real cheap, and
just as effective as copper for this purpose.
