Pull a copper wire from one ground to the other?
I guess that's what I haven't figured out yet - it's about 200' and I don't have 200' of wire laying around. I'm thinking of making dummy terminations for each end of my cat6 cable and stripping each of the pairs and twisting them together so it works as a single conductor and using that to measure.
