As some of u know Goog and I have been shopping around for a new ride. Being as she will get a mast for halides, antenna and a stick. What is the best method to lightning ground a mast?
Sort of like walking around a golf course with a five iron and pointing it straight up in the air, does not take much to be the best target around in a big, flat, open space.Id rather be safe than sorry especially with the mast set up we would like to run. Gonna be a lot of metal in the air lol

Oh boy, what a combo. When you need a bird for the stick, let me know.![]()

Something to shoot for is getting the most direct path available from the high point to the water. The more turns you take the more opportunities for a side flash, in theory. #8 is the generally accepted wire size, bigger is better, clean connections are important too, no corrosion. Here is a link to a simple explanation of what to do and why.
