Default Grounding TV antenna tower

wrote:
What is the proper and best way of grounding a tv antenna at the top of
a 40' tower? I have a cottage on lake huron, and the tower is going to
be the highest metal point for quite a few hundred feet. I am
concerned about damage when lightning hits the tower or antenna. Also-
Should a grounding jumper be run around the rotator to ground the
antenna and mast? Thanks


Besides what has already been mentioned here, don't forget to buy the
proper lightning arrestors for any coax cable, rotor cables, etc. They
also should be grounded to the copper rod that grounds the tower. They
also make fuses for this purpose. Every little bit helps.
