[Lowfer] Pounding in a ground rod - NOT FUN

[Andy - KU4XR]

Stan:

Thanks for that info; I wasn't aware that I could rent something
like that. I get most of my stuff from them, so I'll check to see 
if the local store rents them out. After seeing what one ground 
rod did, I began to wonder what 2 more might do for the system.
As with all things, there's a point of diminishing returns.
