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
