my house is completely encased in 16 gauge copper plate and every 6 feet i have an exothermically welded pigtail of 500mcm copper cable bonded to 20' ground rods with a impedance test well every fourth one....it cost me one zillion dollars and i DARE any stray spike to set foot within 200' of the place....course i cant afford even a small behringer delay ...BUT IT WAS WORTH IT!!!!!

loved the river analogy BTW.....as a REAL electrician it amused me.......and its really true too.....small pipe...large impedance....large pipe small impedance....the number of strands affects things too as does the annealment of the wire....(soft/hard)....you all do realize that electrons flow on the outside surface of the wire....thus the more strands the greater the range of Hz.....VOILA more surface area........peace
