FCC Technician Exam Question Of The Day (T0A11)

Q) Which of the following is good practice when installing ground wires on a tower for lightning protection?

A) Ensure that connections are short and direct

NJ2X Notes:
Effective tower grounding is very important with many considerations.  When installing ground wires on a tower for lightning protection you need to make sure the connections are short and direct.  It is also important to avoid sharp bends in the grounding wire as these can present an impedance to lightning.
