[TowerTalk] HDX-555 Grounding

[Larry Saletzki]

Hi Ken, I took a number 6 stranded and ran it from the tower base which is
grounded to 3 ground rods (one in the bottom of the hole) to the mast pipe
so I don't have to rely on the tower being grounded through the slides. I
clamped the number 6 to my cable stand offs then taped the rotor cable and
feed lines to the number 6. That way I didn't crush the rotor cable or feed
lines in the process. Seems to work well. I made a large loop at the rotor
so the Ham-m doesn't have to grunt to hard. 73 Larry WA9VRH

> I'm looking for suggestions on whether or not to develop some sort of
mechanical ground connection between the tower's top two sections. I intend
on grounding the coax at the top and bottom of the tower a interm solution
and just wondered if anyone has developed something to accomplish this.
