What about the antenna itself? The tower will be grounded like crazy, the
antenna is only "half-grounded" with the shield being grounded. The rotor
cable will of course be grounded as well.
Thank goodness it is winter as I can do this in smaller chunks with little
or no chance of lightning for the next couple of months.
Thanks
