[Steve GW4BLE]

Not only Andrew, but RFS earthing kits too; and agreed, for a 'tidy'
installation fit roxtec glands.

think it  depends how properly you want to do it. 
For lots of reasons like RFI,  lightening etc you 
should have an earthed plate with long back to backs  
mounted in it.
I suggest you check out the handbooks to  see the 
preferred method, rather than do what I did and just 
knock  through the stone and bring in the 50 odd 
coaxes!

The CORRECT way is to earth each cable at the point they enter the  
building. If as Andy is doing you use Andrew cables. The earth kits to fit
the  
cable can be purchased. I have even at times seen them at radio rallies for

sale! You should also earth the cables on the tower too. But I am no going
off 
 subject! I have spent many happy hours freezing in the middle of winter 
fitting  earth kits to cable. Oh Happy days! Back to backs are not my 
preferred  method ldf 5-50 would stress them rather a lot!
