Ok, this is exactly the kind of validation and new ideas I was looking for.
Thanks GroundUrMast - I was obviously "hoping" to get your input. And I did spend time last night reading 810 and concluding that I would be taking #6 or thicker from the tower all the way around the house to main electrical ground... But now that I think of it I'll be passing my well/hydrant Metal on the way by. Still should just bite the bullet on the 100' of wire. And I knew, but temporarily forgot about the inline protection. I think that is certainly money well spent and might as well get a stack of them as insurance.
Tower Guy, static dissipation array that is interesting as I had been pondering GroundUrMast's idea of putting a lightning rod on top of the antenna. I've got to do some research there - any way to incorporate the two into one or are they distinctly different concepts? Off to research. If I go lightning rod above, do I use the mast as the conductor or do I take a separate wire to the official lightning rod connection at the top?
Thanks!
