This particular point payed attention too resulted 
in the installation of a "Polyphaser"   polyphaser.com/  
for Line conditioning and input power lightning protection.
This protected our entire site, Several Tenants included, 
and half of our problems ended, the bottom half.
The other (top) half was eliminated when we installed the
The Gila-Stat Charge Dissipator       "nottltd.com/lightning.html"
In the Great State Of (Where?) ... New Mexico, we have this 
notorious connection with "Lightning" Before we performed 
these two (not exactly cheap, at least the Polyphaser)
installs, we had nearly four months of the year when we made
lots and lots of trips to the site. Now IF we are off-air
which is really rare, it's cause there is no power supplied 
to the nearest pole.
Yes, Some of the "Brain Trust" don't believe in the charge
dissipation ((Ground-Air-Charge dielectric bleed Off,)
"My description")
but they don't have to drive to my site!
