The best electrode these days is the steel in the foundation of your
house, if it is available.
If I'm correct this is what I have. My foundation is cable-tensioned.
I see steel buried in the foundation - between the framing (vertical),
at the access panel for phone, cable, etc. Coming from the foundation.
I see no ground rods anchored in the ground.
Sounds like a Ufer ground, which is what is used around here. They run the
ground wire into steel encased in the basement floor/foundation.
