[Boatanchors] new Ground system

[Glen Zook]

My tower has NEVER been HIT by lighting.  However,
there is more to this than just grounding.  You have
to use dissipation devices as well.  Those can be made
for under $10 apiece (one is needed for each leg of a
tower, and if the tower is over 100 feet tall, they
should be placed from 50 to 75 feet apart up each
leg).  Or, you can buy them commercially built for
about $350 apiece!

A dissipation device will not protect a tower 100%
from a strike (nothing can).  However, they can reduce
the chances of a strike up to 99.99%.
