Rick, given your description of the soil at the antenna site, I have some
doubt whether driving more ground rods into it is going to give you the
coupling to earth that you are looking for. This may be a situation where
it's better to think in terms of a counterpoise and leave the properties of
the soil itself out of the equation as much as possible. Lots of wire near
the surface...maybe even some runs of chicken wire (tied in through
stainless steel or aluminum fittings, so you don't have copper-on-zinc
contact with the galvanizing)...is likely to make a bigger difference.
The fact that Jay copied you in CT last night is a very encouraging sign,
and all the more so now that I see Lloyd captured you this morning as well.
