<< I would suggest one correction to a comment made and I quote:  "It's easy 
to
 solder any other wires...."!  Please, never solder any grounds!  The low
 melting point of solder will cause the joint to disintegrate extremely
 rapidly with a very small surge of lightning.  Then NO ground protection!
 
 Use clamps and good strong compression fittings designed for the purpose!

Very good point and I just pointed out I used 2 brass screws and then solder 
any heavy wire to the copper strip inside the shack.  k7gco
