[Elecraft] Ground Rods and Congrete - Enough Said!

[Roger D Johnson]

Unfortunately, lightning protection is one of the most discussed and least
understood topics in amateur radio. A properly engineered and constructed
Ufer ground works well but many seem to think that any amount of conductor
buried in any amount of concrete in any configuration is a Ufer ground! These
same people probably think that, if 120 radials make a good ground for a
vertical antenna, then a single wire 120 times as long will work the same.
