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

Lightning strikes involve massive amounts of electrical energy containing high-frequency components. For a ground wire to effectively carry a lightning strike to the earth, it must have the lowest possible impedance. Keeping the ground connections short and direct minimizes this impedance and provides the path of least resistance. You should never use sharp bends or right angles in ground wires for lightning protection. A sharp bend acts as an inductor, creating a high-impedance choke point that can cause the lightning energy to jump off the wire and damage nearby equipment. Drip loops are for preventing water entry on feedlines, not for ground wires.
