I had suggested the same thing basically, but requested info on his soil
condition with no response.  To really check this setup, you need a megger
to make sure the ground is good.  There are ways of doing this with out a
megger but would not want to suggest anything for fear of someone getting
hurt.  The copper screen is the best way of all but this is a bit of work,
to say the least.

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
