[Elecraft] OT: Ground rods and concrete

[Doug Renwick]

That myth refuses to die. I have 5 concrete tower bases with ground rods
partially encased and never a worry about an exploding base.

-NEVER- encase a ground rod in concrete ... especially a tower base.

As a retired 2-way radio tech, I'm aware of two towers that had to be
re-installed because of lightening strikes exploding their concrete bases.
