[TowerTalk] Single Point Ground

[W7CE]

Tom,
I was looking at the first picture from the link you gave.  I need to do 
something similar in the next month or so.  I'll be running 2 or 3 runs of 
4" PVC drain pipe from the house to the tower and pulling 7/8" hardline. 
With your conduit coming out of the ground at an upward angle, how do you 
keep water out of the pipe?  It rains a bunch here in WA, and while my soil 
has exceptionally good drainage, I'd still like to keep it as dry as 
possible in the pipes.  My plan has been to use a 45 degree elbow where the 
pipe exits the ground and possibly build a small enclosure that sits over 
it.

Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

73,
Clay  W7CE
