Yeah, but it has to be at least as good as a rod driven into rock.

Say, '66, you'll have to drive your ground rods in a different state. They have to be in soil -- not rock!
>try 45 degrees.
Right. It's a little harder to hit; but easier to get up to. But I never drive a rod straight. If I'm on a slope, I angle with the slope.
