[TowerTalk] [Bulk] Antenna to Shack Ground Connection

[Patrick Greenlee]

It is unlikely that he did calculations to arrive at his 2/0 statement.  
More likely it is a "stock" prescription that works with all interested

of a discipline give stock answers to stock problems.  Do not assume 
your specific case got special custom treatment. That is unlikely.
