At the risk of starting yet another discussion of lightning protection in
general I do have the following specific question.

In addition to an overall sound design for grounding, etc. is there a
significant advantage to having rotor control line surge suppressors at the
top of the tower? I have read that its a good idea to ground the mast to
the tower to bypass the rotor and I was already planning to have
suppressors on the control lines at the bottom of the tower and at the
entry to the radio room. The intent would be to have better protection for
the rotor itself especially its apparently sensitive reed switch.

Thanks.
