[TowerTalk] copper pipe for SPG connect??

[Don Havlicek]

If your SPG system were to be struck by lightning [via your
antenna/tower], I would be willing to bet that the power company and
telephone company would both sue you for causing damage to their systems
on your property!  They would in my part of the world! 
I was warned, when I had the service buried, NOT to tie into ANY part of
their systems, even the common ground!
