TT:
Thanks for the opinions and anecdotes regarding lightning protection or
lack thereof. Much appreciated.
My original query (Must I ground the coax shield ahead of the
Polyphaser suppressor?) is one of those angels-dancing-on-the-head-of-a-pin
kind of thing. It'll never be answered objectively (quantitatively.) So
I'm going to have to be satisfied in knowing that I have grounded the coax
shields at the top and bottom of the tower and I have installed suppressors
on all coax (as well as control cables) coming from said tower. If a strike
takes out one or more PL259's I'll just marvel at nature's fury and replace
the coax/connectors (and whatever else.)
CU on the bands.
