Does it make sense that a person with a lot of towers would stand less of 
a chance of a strike than someone with just one tower?  To me, it seems 
logical that 10 towers bleeding off energy would be better than just one.

I ask because I have witnessed many T-storms at my station the past 
couple of years and have yet to see a hit on one of the towers.  I have 
seen MANY on the ridges around me.
