I haven't found anything addressing this, so I give to the collective group: 
All feed line shields are grounded at top of tower. A feed line switch is 
located about half way up. 
The main feed line shield is grounded at tower bottom. Now for the question: 
Have an OCF dipole 
supported a distance away from the tower from a tree. It's feed line drops 
down, runs on the 
ground to the tower base and then UP the tower to the switch. Would it be wise 
to ground the shield 
of this coax to the tower base. OR is this unnecessary? 


Thanks in advance.
