[HCDX]: Re: Grounding

["JGarzón" <medidx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alf,
I have read with interest your matter on grounding your gear. I would strong 
recommend you to modify your rods distribution. It is OK if you bury a high 
number of copper rods, but trying to rise the conductivity it is much more useful 
and positive to bury a metallic net (a copper one would be ideal) and then 
distribute the rods in between, firmly solded with an acetilenum solding unit. 
You can bury your metalic net 30 or 40 cm deep. That's much better that if you 
use much long rods with so small surface in contact with earth.
Believe me, overall results will be outstanding, if the rest of the instalation is 
properly achieved.

Hope this helps. 73, Pax et DX
