[Elecraft] Self-fusing liquid electrical tape

[Rick Bates, NK7I]

Or expense?  Lessee... 20 (ground rods including 5 at the tower) times 
$4 per clamp, vs $11-15 for little discernible gains.. adding over $300 
in my grounding solution.  Not a huge amount, but those costs add up 
quickly.  I went with clamps, all buried below grade.

I opted to tie the shop (barn) panel rod to the tower and the house 
panel rod and have a single run out into a field for future (RX antenna) 
use (and simply more earth contact to dissipate).

The copper wire was the cheapest element in play.
