Everyone seems tired of this thread by now, so I'll make my final
comment an observation that there is zero exposed rebar in the picture
of that guy wire base that supposedly exploded because of it. I'd offer
the possibility that the base exploded because there wasn't enough
rebar, not because there was too much. The article itself makes the
statement that faulty Ufer installations are the problem, not Ufer
grounds per se.

Here is an article that described a Ufer ground failure that prompted the
installation of an extensive external grounding system on a 1900’ BC tower.

The Broadcast industry doesn’t seem to put their faith in Uber grounding.
