Henry --

      Jeez, there are whole BOOKS written on this one - hi!

     What does your tower ground consist of?  How is your shack grounded?
 What, if anything, are you doing about your electrical service entry, cable
TV or phone lines?  Do you use a Single Point Ground System design?  It
sounds like you need my article on grounding for amateurs.  Send an SASE to
Tower Tech, Box 572, Woodinville, WA, 98072, and I'll send you a copy.
