Steve:

We used to operate the ARRL 160 from the Ohio State Radio Observatory when
it existed.
It was basically a winter field day operation.  We would put up 7 or 8
Beverages a couple
days before the contest.  For ground rods, we used the 2 foot long guy
stakes that come
with those 5 foot aluminum mast kits that were fairly popular a few years
ago.  Beverage
antennas are not very picky about ground rod quality.
