Hello All:
        The last couple of weeks I have started to try and find some
copper
strap for a nice ground from the bottom of my secondary, to the buried
ground system.  Ah, not too many local stores carried rolls of anything
close to 1" wide by .015" thick copper strap, in about a 25 foot
length.  I found two sites  that specialize in lightning protection
hardware, both carry solid copper strap and braided material.    They
had 5/8" through 6" wide strap with one site (www.polyphaser-dot-com) having
25,50, 75 and 100 foot rolls (1"-6")without any pricing information. 
I'm going to call about the cost per roll on the 1" wide, but has anyone
found others sources for solid copper ground strap (or suitable
alternate?) that didn't break the bank??  Any suggestions would be
appreciated.  Thanks 

Chuck
