One of these documents, "Ufer and  Tower Grounding",  puzzled me:
What does Ufer mean, I wondered.    The Polyphaser author made no  
mention of what Ufer means.

I found this explanation:

Ufer Ground is an electrical earth grounding method named after  
Herbert G. Ufer, who developed the technique during World War II in  
Arizona. A synonymous term is "concrete encased ground electrode". It  
is installed by connecting the ground wire to the steel reinforcement  
bars in foundation concrete, or by embedding a length of wire in the  
foundation near the bottom of the concrete.

So, Now I have some idea.

(And that document shows no cutoff of bottom lines I wondered about  
earlier.)
