[Lowfer] GROUND RESISTANCE

[Howell, Laurence (Shanghai/Singapore)]

Although nothing per se to do with RF earth the following gives some
reasonable impedance measurements for "lower frequencies" and though it
wont answer the RF side a lot of it is somewhat applicable to LF stuff
(or not as some would argue)....
 
73 and a happy new year - we are just a couple of hours away from it
here..,...

How do you guys measure ground resistance? I live on a rocky tree
covered mountain .My lowfer beacon is almost complete but Id like to
know what my ground losses are so I can design my antenna and my
amplifier tank circuit matching.I have read that mountain ground
resistances are 100 plus ohms but how exactly do I measure that ?With an
ohmeter or impedance  bridge or what? I m new to the whole vertical
antenna thing; let alone extemely short lf verticals !
    Thanks  in advance
