Rotator cables typically have no shield to bond to the tower. I use MOVs
near all of my rotators to protect the motors and potentiometers.

Jim, et al:
What about control cables coming down the tower? I just skimmed through
the first edition of Ward's grounding book. It recommends bonding the
coax shields to the tower, but doesn't say anything about control
cables. Typically there is a least one rotator control cable in the mix
and oftentimes additional control cables for array switches and multiple
Tic ring rotators on larger more sophisticated installations. That seems
like an inconsistency, no?
