This practice is the single most damaging source of lightning energy directed toward the equipment.

Chapter 1 discussed the best way to reduce coax cable shield currents directed toward the equipment: Take the coax cables to the base of the tower and ground the shields there, routing them at ground level or below to an entrance panel at ground level.
