IMHO...
Many schools of thought on this theory of static dissipation... Most
determine that it does not help.
I don't know how many more appendages you could have on an amateur
tower.....With multiple single band beam antennas or a single multi-band
beam You have quite a large amount of surface area...
With this in mind... How would this theory work?
