i would call it a toss-up... pick whichever one is easier, or if you are 
married, whichever one looks better.

I want to determine the best location for the cables and coax to enter my house 
for my new tower installation. Many of you have extensive experience in these 
matters and I would appreciate your thoughts.I have a Ufer ground at the tower 
will as well have a cadwelded star ground system radiating out from the tower.

The coax and control lines are my concern. There is a house perimenter ground 
starting outside the shack and going around the outside of the house directly 
to the telco and electric service entry point ground where it is then tied in 
to the tower star system. The shack in the house is diagonally opposite the 
telco and electric utility entry point.

Am I better off bringing the cables into the house via a bulkhead with 
suppressors tied in to the perimeter ground 

A) right at the telco and electric entry point (relatively close to the tower) 
and bring the cables then through the basement or 

B) further away ( 75 ft or so diagonally opposite point A in the house) where 
the shack is and run/trench the cables outside to that point. 

I thank you in advance for your comments and suggestions.
