181. [TowerTalk] Lightning Observation (score: 1)
Author: SPELUNK.SUENO@prodigy.net (EUGENE SMAR)
Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2001 12:54:29 -0400
Ford: That continuous arcing after the bolt of lightning is known as power follow-through. The lightning induces a voltage spike into the power network and arcs over the surfaces of insulators weaken

TT: So I conclude that lightning energy impinging on a buried coax cable will at most have a surface/shield current flowing on it, which can be shunted to ground by a properly applied ground connecti

TT: Here is Bencher's reply to my query about whether I correctly calculated the wind area of their Skyhawk tribander (I calculated 12+ sqft of element area alone, and their specs say 8.5 sqft.) Also

Nathaniel: I would second Joe Subich K4IK's recommendation against unguyed Rohn tower at that height and recommending the Trylon self-supporting tower series. I'm in the process of putting up a 64-fo

Nathaniel: I, too, have no way to get a crane close to the tower site (OK - it'll cost me a lot of bucks, too.) So I'm building my Trylon piece by piece above me as I climb it. I first fully assemble

Steve: I'm not using a gin pole mainly because I don't own one or know where to get one around here. (Maybe that will scare a few sources out of the weeds.) Thanks for the suggestion, though. 73 de G

Without a doubt - Norm's Rotor Service. Not sure of web address but his e-mail is RotorNorm@aol.com (last time I wrote to him.) I have no business connection with him, but we're both members of PVRC.

Bob: Thanks for your comments. One thing from among many that I learned from DIck's articles is this : The figure 2/3 IS WRONG! NEVER use 2/3 to calculate ANYTHING regarding wind loading of a tower.
