I was reading this the other day. It apparently works in his 
situation. What keeps anything connected to the center conductor of 
the coax runs protected?


Separate question... I've seen several places that you should not use 
a Cadweld connection to the leg of Rohn 25 or 45 tower because of the 
potential to burn a hole in the tower leg. What is the preferred 
method of attaching a heavy ground wire or copper strap? Any special 
preparation for the leg itself?
