[TowerTalk] Arrestor placement

[Gary - AB9M]

I put Array Solutions Surge Arrestors AS-303U (formerly I.C.E. Protectors) 
at the Ground Window for Co-axial cables coming into the radio shack. The 
AS-303U are more than gas tube protectors. I also use the AS-16SP mounted at 
the Ground Window for the rotor and control leads entering the shack.


73 & DX,

Subject: [TowerTalk] Arrestor placement

Hello all,Somehow I have gotten the idea that one's lightning arrestors are 
best placed at the bottom of the tower. This seems logical to me. Then I 
came across another piece that said, no, arrestors are to be placed at the 
shack entrance panel. Which is it? Or does it matter?  73,
