Hello Stefan,

No, not yet, I need to finalise the positions for the ground rods. Can
I initially lay insulated stranded but each single core UK 15 Amp
mains wires on the ground's surface to the rods? Is 50 yards earth rod
spacing adequate and should I try to get them in a ditch that's
usually constantly wet? I picked up my amp a few weeks back, it looks
quite a beast! Thanks Paul Nicholson :) Toroids should land this week.
