Ground Rods and Congrete - Enough Said!

[Terry]

This topic is taking on a life of its own.  It appears that there are two
camps in the discussion; each believing they have documented evidence that
they are right.  Perhaps it is time to agree to disagree and put the thread
to rest.

 

Respectfully,

 

Terry de N7TB

Unfortunately, lightning protection is one of the most discussed and least
understood topics in amateur radio. A properly engineered and constructed
Ufer ground works well but many seem to think that any amount of conductor
buried in any amount of concrete in any configuration is a Ufer ground! These
same people probably think that, if 120 radials make a good ground for a
vertical antenna, then a single wire 120 times as long will work the same.

73, Roger

Terry, they do this all the time as you know which is why I do not read 90% of the posts. Perhaps our notes will point this out to the folks that are past about number 50 on a subject.
