Ken, Perhaps I misunderstood your description of the practice. Are you saying that the bare end of this wire is buried in the earth in a coiled concentric circle? That does sound like good practice to the extent that it puts a lot of copper in contact with the earth, but lazy to the extent that the coil adds inductance to the discharge path. Or if you're the accountant for the power company, "efficient."
