- --cutout-- --cutout-- Before the hit we are not dealing with high currents. So maybe we can use a 1/4" holes in each leg and join them with a reasonable gage wire to minimize the effect of increasin

- All I do is run a copper antenna wire up the tower to the top. I addition to the lightning protection, it makes 1/4 wave slopers work better. Chuck, KE5FI -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/tow

- Chuck -- Actually I think the wire up the tower is not recommended because it is another conductor where the voltage potential difference may actually cause arcing. Bonding the tower legs is the typi

- Hi Steve and gang. I thought the cloud had either an excess or absence of electrons with respect to ground mounted ojects that caused a strike. Based on that premise, isn't that why tower grounding

- << BTW, whoever said lightning goes from the ground up is partially correct. Thunderclouds may have either an excess of negative electrons or positive electrons so the path may be either way as it tr
