I've got all my radios, including my premium RXs, grounded to a SPG and use
ICE arrestors on the feedlines (ICE suppressors will also drain off static
build-up, they block as well as shunt), all the AC into the shack, and all
rotor and remote antenna switch control lines. This then gets grounded to an
extensive Cadwelded groundrod array. All the feedlines are also grounded at
the tower base and then routed through a 2" grounded EMT conduit.
