Folks,
I see a lot of references to grounding coaxial feedlines at the top of
towers, bottom of towers, and at house entry points. Is this purely for
static and lightening protection

Hi Bob,
Lots of well established science on most of this.
Bonding to the tower top and bottom is for lightning protection.
Combined with proximity to the tower, the feedline and the tower are
essentially one conductor for common mode, so whatever is induced in the
tower will couple to the
Folks,
I see a lot of references to grounding coaxial feedlines at the top of
towers, bottom of towers, and at house entry points. Is this purely for
static and lightening protection purposes or does it also help mitigate
Common Mode problems as well?
If feedlines are well grounded, are chokes
