Thank you for explaining that. For our commercial and public safety communication site grounding systems our firm insists on cad-weld at all exposed and buried connection points but I would suspect that very few hams, let alone residential or even commercial electricians, would go to that length. My mentor in that area, the late Tom Croda, who during his lifetime was the national expert in comm site power and grounding, would not settle for anything less. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
