Please 'splain to me why coax shields should be grounded 
at the top of the tower in addition to at the bottom.  I 
understand at the bottom, to shunt the voltage to the 
tower and its grounding grid, but don't see any 
advantage to also doing it at the top unless one wants 
to possibly save some coax once it gets burned up by a 
strike.  Phil  KB9CRY
