If you've put in your own ground rod and not bonded it to the electrical ground, then you're doing more harm than good. That will create a ground potential difference and smoke your equipment. You absolutely must have all the grounds tied together. I would make sure the water tower, your grounding and the utility ground are all bonded together. -Patrick

I have a Canopy 900 AP with a vertical antenna mounted at the top using shielded CAT5 routed down the bowl and ladder. There is a NEMA at the bottom where the CMM-3 is located with a #10 wire to the ground rod at the bottom of the NEMA. I am 'feeding' this tower APs during the spring/summer stormy months. Are there any better methods to grounding this setup? Thanks in advance, Bobby -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
