If you go to http://www.polyphaser.com/ and select Technical Info
you will learn everything you want to know about proper grounding
and lightning protection.

They have done a pretty thorough job there and they did address
dealing with antennas and towers on buildings.  Just read though their
materials the other night.

Hope that helps!  DavidC  K1YP
