I am curious about the grounding systems people are using.
 Is anyone using multiple ground rods bonded together?
 Is anyone using a well that is drilled into the water table?

  Has anyone used sheets of metal buried vertically in the ground as a earth
ground?

  I am curious, because i know on the lower ham bands 160 - 40 meter a
multiple ground rod system or a water well is a must for a good ground
system to be effective.
