Default Jumpers across tower sections

My guess is that the electrical connection between one tower section and
the next might be somewhat variable, especially if the tower sections
weren't new when the tower was assembled.


Best case scenario? Might help.

Worst case scenario? Can't hurt.

That said, could a corrosion condition arise from the "bonding" of
dissimilar metals? Would "tinning" the copper wire with solder
slow/prevent this possibility? Perhaps another fix ...
