[TowerTalk] Coax shield grounding

[Wes Attaway (N5WA)]

The ICE blocks have worked well for me.  I put some in about 12
years ago and recently removed the coax (tower was taken down)
and the coax looked practically brand new inside the blocks.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Coax shield grounding


What's the best way to ground coax shields at the top and bottom
of my
tower?  I have seen the ICE model 360 and 380 blocks, but these
seem to
involve piercing and re-waterproofing of the coax jackets at each
grounding
block.  It would be possible to put on connectors and bracket
barrel
connectors to the tower leg, but I hesitate to add more
connectors. Opinions?
