[TowerTalk] next dipole question

There are mixed opinions on grounding the shield at the tower.  I do not.

Are you using a current balun?  If so, is it at the feedpoint?

 OK so the sparkgap arrestor is not a problem.

 Should I ground the shield of the coax to the tower like my 2m vertical is?

 Thanks...
