Well my GP-15 vertical on the top of the tower looks like it took a hit. It still works, but the SWR is varies all over the place (used to be pretty flat across 2 meters). This is the third damaged/d

Doug, I have a copper tri-band (144/220/440) J-Pole on top of my mast. I made it using 1/2 in. hard drawn copper with regular water pipe "T" and "L" fittings with a cap on top. I have it mounted to t

If there is lightning induced current coming down the coax lines (in parallel with current coming down the tower legs themselves) the inductance of the coil causes a large voltage to appear across th

Rick, I did not elaborate on the tower/coax grounding, because it was not the question. I basically just responded to the query about using a J-Pole on top of the tower. However, since you have raise

One CRITICALLY important thing I don't see in your post is that ALL of those ground rods must be bonded together by a very low impedance path, and ideally they should be bonded together outside your

Jim, Sorry I left out the mentioning the AC Power grounding. The ground rod that I installed before they poured the slab is the Power ground as well as my common Radio ground. My AC power comes into
