My previous dwelling besides having a similar setup to what Frank
described I also had my antenna and tower grounded. I put my tower out
in the old garden bed (I moved my garden every few years so as to give
nutrients a chance to rebuild), and before I put fill dirt and grass
seed in I laid out a grid of #12 copper wire in a 18' radius from the
tower legs, this as well as the tower and antenna were tied into a
ground rod at the base of the tower. I had a weatherproof box outside
where I could disconnect coax so it couldn't feed into house during
t-storm.

I'll be setting similar situation up here at the new place, this time
for my HF Vertical, my UHF/VHF antennas, and my multi-band Inverted V.

Don't forget to ground your tomato plants. g


Nah, fried tomatoes are delicious, same with squash, onions, jalapeno
peppers, and using lightning to fry them saves me the money I'd be
spending to heat up the skillet hihi.
