I posted them here some time ago, but got no interest. Any interest now ??

You can use the grounding kits, which are very effective although they
do require some work and weatherproofing. There is also the simple way,
but expensive. Two coax connectors and a bulk head connector.
I'd use the bulkhead connector with less expensive coax on HF. All 3
connectors cost less than one hard line connector and about the same as
1 grounding kit. They are also very effective. I use it up through LMR-600

I have used stainless shim stock from McMaster-Carr to address this
problem. The Andrew kits are nice if you can find them, but not cheap.

Hello. I am making good progress on my new (and first) tower.
I am connecting my RF signals to the Yagis on my new tower using 7/8”
Andrew Heliax. I would like to ground the top and bottom of the Heliax to
one of the galvanized legs of the tower.
I am concerned about putting 2 dissimilar metals together (i.e., the
corrugated shield of the Heliax and the galvanized steel leg of the
tower).
What type of metal is used to make the outermost shield of Heliax?
And, do I need an intermediate metal (like stainless steel) between the
Heliax shield and the tower leg?
Thanks for your help.
