I'll attempt a more non-technical explanation for why you need all your grounds (Tower, SPG, Shack, Electrical, Arrestors) to be bonded together. Say that you have all of the above bonded together ex

I went through ALL of this about five years ago and it's ALL good. So, to put a more physical view to this I've posted some of my pix to http://picasaweb.google.com/kc2tnpix on how I accomplished the

Lots of people have misconceptions of what a "single point ground system" is. It is mainly concerned with your equipment and not the tower ground system. As others have said, you need a good ground s

Doubt you're going to see a million amps. really, really big strokes might be 100kA, but that's in the stroke, not in some grounding wire (the tower might carry that, but as soon as you start dividin

I agree a "no difference" situation id highly unlikrly, but I agree with Jim in you are unlikely to see any where near a million amps. 50,000 to 100,000 for the really big monsters, or the so called

Now I am confused Gary. I thought the tower ground was tied in with everything else. Unless, like a friend of mine who's tower is 300 ft from his house. If the tower is near the house, I thought it w

Yes Mike, the tower ground system should be tied to your entrance panel/single point ground point. It always is anyway because of the coax lines that come from the tower. Coax lines should be bonded
