Hi Dave,

Just out of curiousity, did you consider the tower
base safe after that experience, from a mechanical
standpoint?

What you describe for your system seems like a lot
more than a 10' length of wire set in concrete. We
have this type of construction in our facility and as
you say it is expensive and requires proper
installation (sadly, that can be an iffy proposition).
We haven't had any lightning strike issues for a large
installation on the highest point of the county.
