About this video

In this episode, I build my own Ground Spike, called the Super Dude for fun.

I build this device and discuss some issues I have as well as give some perspectives on building your own.

Parts I used:

3d Printed Mount - thingiverse.com/thing:5204520 There will be a three spike mount available soon

Harbor Freight Tent Stakes - harborfreight.com/10-inch-steel-tent-stake…

Threaded Adapter for SO-239 - This is not the one I used, due to a shipping error. However, this should work, provided you can take the top portion off of the connector, momentarily - amzn.to/3GwLby1

Additionally I used a ring Terminal which seems to be a little larger than 5/8". 5/8" inner diameter should also work. Sourcing these may be difficult, as they are relatively expensive

A way to connect your radials and / or ground..

I hope you enjoyed this video and it gave you some things to think about.
