- Hello all, I have a question to all concerning the ground stake for a Beverage. Through my reading I see some differnet opinions over the type and size of it. Have read about using standard 8-foot gr

- Well - I am sure your local ground conditions probably affect how good of a ground rod you need. I would have to say that my ground rods are pretty poor. Perhaps only two feet into the ground (three

- I recently added 7 50' radials to each end of a couple of 1000' long reversible Beverages. Previously I'd beaten 2- 5' long 3/4" copper pipes 2' or 3' into the ground on each end and used them as my

- Ground rod impedance varies a lot depending on your soil. In Florida I used 4 ft ground rods for receiving antennas and they measured about 50 to 70 ohms. That was measured at 2 KHz. I don't know wha

- I have found that here in Ohio nothing works better than a 2 foot long aluminum rod (ground stakes from surplus antenna mast kits). That is, I've used longer ground rods, but I can't tell that they m

- On both of my two reversible Beverages built with DXE hardware, I bond the DXE boxes to the 8 ft ground rods, and I use a serious coaxial choke tuned to cover 160M and 80M to isolate the coax from th

- In our soil (Rocky Mtns) the copper 1 inch pipe does not play. Up here a good way to make a 5 ft pipe into a 6 inch pipe is try to drive it into the ground. What I've been able to do is get copper cl
