Point well taken. and the vast majority of our LMR clients' sites are a 
mixture of vertical antennas, corner reflectors, small yagis, and 
microwave dishes.  The cost of the ground system is a fraction of the 
costs of the infrastructure and equipment including labor.

As hams, we do what we can..... especially those of us who live in areas 
where it's rare to get lightning more than once a year if that much.
