A question for the group:
How does one go about guaranteeing a good RF ground between a
rotating mast and the tower proper? I'm assuming that a thrust
bearing isn't adequate, even a Rohn TB-3, but I'm sure I could be
quite wrong.
Additionally, a lightning hit to an attenna or the mast would just
arc across or flash ionize the air and form the conductive path to
the tower in that manner, does this jibe with others' experience in
these matters?
Thanks,
