I just put up a 50 foot Glenn Martin Tower. I am going to have a quad up
there with a rotatable dipole.
Right now nothing is hooked up so I have no lightning protection (except for
the eight foot ground rod connected to the tower by a heavy gauge stranded
copper wire).
What would be your recommendation for a complete lightning protection system.
I have not ordered the coax yet, so I can build it from the ground up.
Believe it or not, I sent an email to AES and asked them to design a system
for me and after a week I got an email back that said to look at page 98 in
their catalog. They said they could not help me design a system because they
did not know what my exact setup was.
So, do I just buy "one of each" on page 98 starting at the antenna end and
working back?
