Hi Dick and All at LF,
I haven't tried using a can of worms as a ground
connection, I prefer lengths of scrap copper water pipe linked together by
thick copper wire :o)
But I would like to echo Gary's thanks to all those
who offered an answer to the "dumb question". I spent an happy Sunday afternoon
reading all the Emails and trawling the suggested web sites, and have set
about building a bridge, like Dick's, to measure my own feedpoint
impedance.
Most of the "conventional wisdom" on making an
earth connection advocates things like watering your earth rods and making
perforations in tubes and otherwise trying to wet the ground around them, but it
seems like this may not be quite the whole story.
Having spent last summer trying to locate a
medieval manor house using ground resistance survey techniques it comes as no
surprise that things are not straight forward !

Hi Dick & All at LF,
Looks like Hugh & I have really
started something ?? "Opened a can of worms" I think is the
saying !!
Thank you to you all for your responses,
explanations & comments etc. It is very helpful & very
interesting.
