[TowerTalk] Lightning Protection Question

[Gene Smar]

Larry:

     It depends.  I have my Polyphasers at the NEMA box at the tower base, 
but I also have a remote coax switch there, too.  I connected the 
Polyphasers between the coax and the switch so that each coax was 
individually protected BEFORE it went into the switch.  If I had mounted the 
switch in the shack, I would have put the Poly's outside the shack directly 
on the SPG panel.

     Don't forget to ground the shields of your coax at the top and bottom 
of the tower, too.

My new tower is 200 feet from my new (unbuilt) shack. Should I put the 
polyphasers at the tower in the NEMA box or at the shack in the NEMA box or 
does it not matter. There is a ground cable between the two and I'll have a 
SPG when complete.

Thanks.

Larry, KN8N
