[TowerTalk] Tower Foundations, II

[BRENT BAUM]

Thanks all for the replies.

Interestingly enough the building department, when pressed, said they didn't 
care about anything but the foundation. On the rest they defer to the 
experts in the field, i.e. the hams.

Naturally enough there will be a good ground system, etc. installed. The 
mountains of N. Utah get some really good thunder bumpers. Stray electrons 
of whatever potential or current are not welcome in the shack. BTW the shack 
is enclosed in a UFER cage basement, the tower base will be UFER style and 
will be situated in the somewhat damper part of the property. We still flood 
irrigate our yards so moistening the ground system is easy.
