[TowerTalk] Crank up tower lightning protection

[EZ Rhino]

Steve is right, it's a non-issue.  Make sure your coax shields are bonded to ground at the top and bottom of the tower, and where the cables enter the house.  Bond tower to ground also at the bottom.

Ideas or what has others  done?

   Well, the whole tower is electrically connected by  the 
raising/lowering cables so I would say you don't have to do anything. 

   So how would you propose bonding the sections when  it's extended? IOW 
I think it's a non-issue.
