Hi Lon, i seen you mention in a post that grounding should be at the antenna, the tower and the radio./ I need to ground my system better./
How do you have yours grounded.???/ What places did you use for attaching the ground wires from the beam to ground??? Tower to ground??? What type of wire do you use??? (guage)

Jim,
Go to:
Ask The Tech
» Installations
» General
» RADIO EQUIPMENT & GROUNDING
There I have a lot of pictrures of how I have everything grounded and information.
On my towers I have a ground rod for each leg 8' from each leg.
Beam is grounded to mast pipe and mast pipe is grounded to tower at Rotor Base along with the rotor at Roof Level.
Each piece of mast pipe running down the tower to rotor is bolted together with stainless bolts and pentrox.
Hope this helps,
Lon
