Default Grounding Bar Length For Receiving Only Antenna

I disagree about the penetration depth. The depth depnds on frequency and
soil characteristics, but at 160 m the "skin depth" (the point where the
potential has fallen to 1/e of its original value) would normally fall in
the range of 10 - 30 feet.

If you live over a silver mine or the Sahara desert, your mileage will vary.
