[TowerTalk] Antenna to Shack Ground Connection

[john at kk9a.com]

I would run the ground cable in the same trench.

Dear Group:

    I am now ready to connect the tower grounding rod network to  the shack
grounding system.  The crank-up tower is about 30 feet from the shack.  Is it
preferable to run the ground connection between the two along with signal
cables?  Or is it better to run the grounding connection not so close to the
signal cables?  I've seen people do it both ways, and can see a possible
benefit either way, but a lightning strike could throw either idea out the
window.

Thanks,

Norm
