[HCDX] Copper Flashing as a Ground

[Dave Valko <djvalko@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

GROUNDS   Recently while doing some shopping in our local Lowes home 
hardware store, I noticed they have rolls of 20 foot copper flashing for 
around $25-$35.  I immediately wondered how effective it would be as a 
radio or antenna ground buried (rolled out of course) under ground.  Has 
anyone out there tried this??  If so, what were the results, how deep was 
it buried, and what were the soil conditions it was buried in??  Having 
such a large surface area, I would assume it would make an excellent ground 
system.  Maybe adding a rod or two at each end.  What do you think??
