Hello,
does anybody know of an easy way of attaching the shield of RG-213 cable
or (similar) to the top and bottom of a grounded tower? I've read that
this is desirable for lightning protection (grounds shield currents
before they can leave the tower), and possibly to reduce noise pickup.
It of course needs to be a water proof method. I'm not sure if this is
the same thing that K7FL is asking for or not.

thanks,
Dave
