[Elecraft] Self-fusing liquid electrical tape

[tony.kaz at verizon.net]

All my ground rods are below ground level. I didn't want to take a chance of failure so used 23 one-shots with #4 solid copper wire.  Maybe that is one of the reasons why I get away with never unhooking coax even when I watch lightning strike the tower. One point ground for everything, lightning arrestors on every coax and control line to the house, bonding the shield of all coax to the base of the tower probably helps too.

Yeah, maybe I'm one of the exceptions. I just used 20 of them to build a lightning ground system for a new tower install. Easy to use and considerable peace of mind knowing the joints created will last a long time underground.
