[TowerTalk] Lightening Discharge rods?

[BILL.MADDOCK@fluordaniel.com (BILL.MADDOCK@fluordaniel.com)]

     What is the most appropriate way to safeguard your antennas on a tower
     from lightening? I have heard that a lightening rod high above the top 
     antenna works! I have also heard that the porcupines work also! Does 
     anyone really know which is the best way to go?? I will have about 10 
     ground rods spaced around tower about 16 ft apart. 
     
     73's and Thanks for the help
