I can't seem to get past the notion that if all the grounds are tied together, and a lightning bolt comes down and hits one of my antennas, the charge will come down to the buried strap and follow it

The idea is any earth connection you have for lightning protection should have greater area than the conductor bonding any other grounds. The idea on tower grounds is to bond each leg to crowfoot gro

Grounding is not to attract lightning, but to take away the static charge that accumulates on antenna, etc. It is the accumulated stateic charge that actually attracts lightning. Disconnect coaxes (I

Close enuff... It's a charge differential that attracts lightning. The stepped leader builds the ionized channel for the initial visible lightning discharges in approximately 150 foot steps. Think on

Nice flame bait. You *could* learn about it. I'm certainly no expert, and there are short white-papers on Polyphaser's web site about the subject. They aren't written in jargon. If you have mains con

Eric has good points on a reasonable approach for the ham to protect his station investment. It is NOT Rocket Science, but applied Ohm's law just with larger currents, voltages, and lower resistances

It truly wasn't intended to be inflamatory. I was simply being honest in my assessment. I happen to disagree. I have looked at them in the past and they are written in the language of the trade and

Grounding need not be only "ground rods." For eons, the buried copper wash boiler has been a far more effective "ground electrodes" much like a sheet of copper buried deep enough or a mesh of bare wi
