Or expense? Lessee... 20 (ground rods including 5 at the tower) times
$4 per clamp, vs $11-15 for little discernible gains.. adding over $300
in my grounding solution. Not a huge amount, but those costs add up
quickly. I went with clamps, all buried below grade.
I opted to tie the shop (barn) panel rod to the tower and the house
panel rod and have a single run out into a field for future (RX antenna)
use (and simply more earth contact to dissipate).
The copper wire was the cheapest element in play.

Cad-weld isn’t expensive — $11-15 per weld depending on where you buy
the stuff. Typically sold in kits of 6 one-shot crucibles, and
available for varying ground wire sizes on 1/2” or 5/8” ground rods.
Agreed, but how many of us would go through that exercise?
