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
