[TowerTalk] Arrestor placement

[Djordan (personal)]

I like to install a Polyphaser at the base of the tower; takes care of grounding the shield at the base of the tower and adds some wiggle room for the polyphaser at the operating position entrance bulkhead! 

Good Luck,
Dave

P.s. I always considered arresters the old air gap spark plugs used for open wire feeders and the polyphaser technology as EMP remediation devices. One handles the big melt your radio voltages and the other handles the melt radio's front-end components.
