The ground is round baby. Drove a new ground rod all the way into the earth today. Took about three weeks of going back and working on it. Lots of people, who had been through this nightmare, had helpful ideas. In the end it was water that made it all happen. All the rain, and then a ten foot 1/2" conduit plugged into the water hose. Shoved that into the ground and worked it for about five sessions before it began to really dig in and make some headway. Hooked up my new isolated ground colored, 8 gauge wire from the Ground bus to the new Ground Rod. Honestly didn't expect much of a difference, other than the emotional satisfaction that the job was complete.

Received this Friday, but not sure how. The time stamp says 0030Z which is 12:30am zulu, or UTC, or GMT, or whatever they call it now. We are seven hours behind that, so that's 5:30pm on Thursday. I was nowhere near a radio or computer at that time.

Anyway, don't know how I got this, but it came over the air (radio) and the computer decoded it. Fun times, not creepy at all.
