[TowerTalk] Fwd: Grounding of tower

[Jim W7RY]

I have seen SWER in Canada in the 1980s. I believe it was in Alberta. Just 
one primary conductor on the pole along the road and to the pole by the 
house.

Heh.  Assuming I understand your point - hardly assured - I have one acronym 
for you: SWER.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_wire_earth_return

The most amazing thing next to the fact that it works at all is the fact 
that it actually works acceptably well for the intended application!
