Fellow reflector members: I know that a tower mounted ON, not in/through a concrete base needs a grounding cable. But in the case where the tower, Rohn HDBX-48 in my case, will be mounted onto metal

It is my impression that tower parts passing through concrete into the ground tend to cause the concrete to explode when struck by lightning. I believe that the practice is to ALWAYS insulate the tow

The assumption being made that concrete tower bases _blow up_ if grounded is misleading. Towers in these parts are hit quite often. I have yet to see a base damaged. The problem, if any, stems from n
