Dear Group:

    I am now ready to connect the tower grounding rod network to  the shack 
grounding system.  The crank-up tower is about 30 feet from the shack.  Is it 
preferable to run the ground connection between the two along with signal 
cables?  Or is it better to run the grounding connection not so close to the 
signal cables?  I've seen people do it both ways, and can see a possible 
benefit either way, but a lightning strike could throw either idea out the 
window.

Thanks,

Norm
