Thank you for explaining that.  For our commercial and public safety
communication site grounding systems our firm insists on cad-weld at all
exposed and buried connection points but I would suspect that very few
hams, let alone residential or even commercial electricians, would go to
that length.  My mentor in that area, the late Tom Croda, who during his
lifetime was the national expert in comm site power and grounding, would
not settle for anything less.
