They were out to crucify North any way they could. If North actually lied,
he'd be in jail right now and for centuries to come. Face it, North was
just too smart for your liberals.

The link doesn't work, which is too bad because it looks like such a
credible source. One might think you're a bit desperate.

Oh, and BTW, others are coming out now. I'm sure this guys part of
the conspiracy too.

Not that it would matter to you because...those admirals ..why,
they're -all- liars.


Gee, that was real difficult, finding the link.............you'll have to do
better than that.
You might have been a "TAD EARLY" in jumping on that one..........:-)

But he was correct, was he not? The link DID NOT WORK as posted.

Still trying to get Locklear fully up to speed today.

My yard has a lot of clay. Do you think I can still get a good
antenna ground in that type of soil?

No but you can buy a kiln and make bricks.

The moisture content of the clay is the most important. The lower the
resistance the better. All you can do is measure between two ground rods
or a ground rod and a metal water line coming in.

If you use two rods, space them the length of one rod apart at a minimum.

KS,

There is not enough information about the nature of the Clay
in your Soil to advise you.

However, If you have a foot or two 'layer' of Clay that is a foot
or two below the Top Soil then a Ground Rod that is driven through
the layer of Clay and deeper into the underlying Soil should be a
good 'earthen' Ground.

Sometimes with Hard, Rocky or Clay Soil, you can 'dig' a two to
three foot wide and deep hole, and then install your Ground Rod.
Or use a Post-Hole Digger (6"-8" Dia.) and go as deep as you can
and then install your Ground Rod.

Re-Fill the 'hole' with a MIX of 2/3 'native soil' plus a Mixture
of 1/2 "Bentonite" (clay kitty litter); 1/3 Epson Salt; and 1/6
Copper Sulfate works well 'in-the-ground' around Ground Rods.
http://www.hard-core-dx.com/nordicdx...bentonite.html
OBTW: The Grass is Always Greener - Around the Ground Rods )

An Alternative is to use a few (2-4) buried "Ground Radials" about
15'-20' for a reasonable ground, these can be place in the ground
and buried about 4"-6" deep. These Ground Radials all need to be
"Tied Together" at 'one-central-point' for your Antenna's and
Station's Main Grounding Point. Again use a a 'mixture' of 1/2
"Bentonite" (clay kitty litter); 1/3 Epson Salt; and 1/6 Copper
Sulfate at the bottom 1" of the shallow trenches that you place
your Ground Radials in.

TIP: If you are redoing your Lawn and installing an in-the-ground
Sprinkler System. Bury several Ground Radials in your Watering
Line trenches at the same time and you with have an effective
Ground System.

Has anyone found a way to pull a ground-rod out of clay in order to re-locate
it? I guess I could just pound it in until it's well below surface and get
some new ones, but it seems a waste...

One of these fancy car jacks may work well. It has a pretty good working
range. A guy (or girl) could hose clamp a loop around the rod and start
lifting. These are called JackAlls hereabouts.

I'd probably put the base of the thing on top of the ground rod then
wonder why it isn't working...
