[Lowfer] Pounding in a ground rod - NOT FUN

[KD7JYK DM09]

I stick the rod in by hand, maybe whack it a few times to get it to stick,
put a roto-hammer on top, push the switch, set the lock button and wait a
couple of minutes to watch that the rod and tool don't both get hammered
into the ground.

Good for getting through hard-pan, rocks, et cetera.

: After an hour of pounding, broke the handle of one sledge hammer,
: absolutely wore myself out, I finally managed to get the rod in
: the ground about 6-1/2 feet. About 3 feet down is hard clay, and
: shale rock. It's hard to bust thru that stuff. I drove the rod
