That's a very good measure, so it appears that ground currents are insignificant there. Power line communication - TWACS - is on my wires, but even with PLC when I began to use a Earthing sheet my body voltage showed a very good
.000-.002 mV. But then I discovered that different times of the night the levels rose dramatically higher voltage and actually decreased when the Earthing sheet was removed.
I'm not sure if that had to do with the 'big' smart meter reads that are done four times a day and last for hours, but I quit using Earthing.
I will have to ask a guy who has extensively studied PLC about your grounding question because I'm not sure.

Thanks for your reply Fog Top.
I have measured my body voltage while connected to my ground rod by a wire, and it goes to .001 mV; do you think this means that there are no ground currents and the utility isn't using power line communication? Or do I need a gauss meter to know for sure?
Also, if the contamination is only three feet deep, does that mean that I could avoid it by driving a 4' rod into the ground and connecting to that?
Cheers!
