Great post, Fred, and very true! I remember back in Jr High when I got my first Ham license, reading that you should place several ground rods in a circle instead of the typical one ground rod. So I bought 2 or 3 of the things and sledged them into the earth. Not an easy task for a 14-year-old. Anyway, for those who want to improve their house ground, look at ham radio supply places for good stuff to help. And yes, the connection itself, even to one rod, is critical! Of course back then most equipment only had 2-wire cords anyway...
