Scott,
Do you have the Polyphaser Book? If not, spend 20 bux and get it from
them. Set aside some serious evenings for reading and studying, and
then revisit the questions you posed. This is not about why lightning
strikes, & where, etc. It's about what you do to mitigate it when it
*does* strike. In particular PPh has a lot to say about the relationship
between your house and the tower ground field.
If I put up a T400, the ground system will hooked up in the base &
include the rebar cage before the concrete is poured. PPh has a very
interesting reason for doing it that way. Well illustrated.
