[Elecraft] April QST: review and The Secret is Out

[Robert G. Strickland]

All have forgotten to mention that the grounding rods need to be pounded 
into the air. While the medium is not too hard, there has always been some 
difficulty with the ground rods "shifting." Various work-arounds have been 
developed to address this problem. I have always been partial to the 
"congealed air" method, but others have had success with other approaches. 
Google "congealed air" and I'm sure you'll find quite a few leads.
