Yes, I think that is a better idea then cutting the jacket of braided cable
for the ground strap.
As well I have no problem doing that with my Heliax/Cellflex cables I also
prefer there the grounding of connectors.
Its much easier to do as I have a at top and bottom of the tower
jumpers/splices anyway

Sooo... based on the above and the input from the group I'll *probably* cuts
some strips of flashing copper, make the coax connections at the top and
bottom of the tower using barrell connectors. Wrap the barrel connectors and
tower leg with the copper flashing and clamp the whole works together using
SS hose clamps torqued down tight. The Andrew connectors are solid brass
and long enough to make this an easy proposition. BTW the center pins in the
Andrew connectors are captive.
