[TowerTalk] Lightning Damage, Crane used to replace Orion Positioner

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

Putting the plugs on the floor is a dangerous practice unless the cables 
come through a single point ground panel first. Without first grounding 
the braids you are repeating Ben Franklin's experiment.  IOW, that cable 
is attached to an antenna,  Better ti connect those connectors to a 
frounded panel/
