	EXCELLENT POINT CARL.

	I DO... SORTA...   I have FOUR - 8-foot ground stakes
	located just outside the shack window,  all within 10 feet
	of the operating position, and the antennas and masts are
	all grounded to those stakes, and, those are, in turn, bonded
	to the main electrical service ground.  I employed high
	quality lightning arrestors at the bulk head connectors, outside,
	which are tied to the ground stakes.  You cannot see them from
	the inside photos, and were put on after I took outdoor photos.

	As always, you comment is spot on.
