[TowerTalk] Single Point Ground

[Nathaniel Gates]

Hello everyone,

I hope that this is an appropriate question for this
reflector.

I want to start building my ground panel outside where
all my coax cables will enter the house.  I had
planned on using a copper sheet perhaps 24" x 24"
mounted on 1/4" plywood to hold all of my lightning
protection.

I had also thought of mounting this in a water tight
box, but do not know if this is appropriate or what
type of box should be used.  Also should this be tied
in with the ground where the power enters into the
house or should it remain separate?  Most importantly,
am I on the right track?  I want to get this right the
first time.

TIA

Nate
