Be real careful when drilling at those seam points tho as the bit can get stuck
when hitting the harder area around the joint and if your holding on with both

I'm not sure I'd go too far with the FCC map. At my QTH, which is shown
as average, actual ground/earth varies within a hundred feet from deep
old riverbottom loam to limestone with a thin covering of topsoil (or
sometimes none). While I don't know how this affects electrical ground

You have to be careful doing that. Some types of carbide will instantly

Good morning to everyone
A technique I've seen used to go under a road or surface obstruction is to
dig work-pit holes on opposite sides and use a hydraulic-jack laying on its
side with its base pressing against a steel-plate or block of wood
positioned against the back-side of the access pit.

Another economical and light weight method of pushing wire through brush
would be to use a 10' piece of 1/2 PVC or plastic electrical conduit. In
the case of the electrical conduit it can be extended by adding multiple
pieces together for greater length. It's lite weight and flexible enough to
