  Hi all
Dick has indicated that Earth Resistance gets higher when the ground is wet.
That seems strange and contrary to accepted theory............
-----------------------
Just a thought - pure water is an insulator. Part of the ground resistance
will be made up of salts dissolved in the moisture in the ground. If you add
rain water, which is probably more pure than the salt solution in the soil,
does the soil solution get weaker and a become poorer conductor?
