Is there such a thing as a “recent” R56? I did not realize someone was updating that document.

It doesn't hep in a very near strike but it does with the incoming stuff off the grid.

We beef up the ground in the service panel that feeds us < 5ohm, and often install a panel protector there as well as next to the tower panel.

On a new tower, the main panel is 200ft. away and a harder run to get to (but doable). There is a subpanel in a barn 150ft. away. Often we go to the easiest place, but am taking a step back at all this kind of stuff (you can tell by my other threads). Regardless, we are going to put our own panel at out equipment box at the base of the tower, drive our own electrical ground, install panel protector , bond to the tower, etc. Is there a reason we would want to be on the main panel (more direct) vs a subpanel (one hop in the middle but closer) ??
