Pretty sure I know the answer, but wanna a sanity check.
Assume amateur radio transmitting tower operating @ VHF frequencies @ 1500 watts. 150 foot tower located 200 feet from house. Each tower leg is bonded to a dedicated ground rod and structural steel in the concrete peers. Coax runs underground in Schedule 80 PVC.
Me says there is no requirement and out of NEC scope to run a Bonding Jumper to connect the house GES where AC Service is located to the Tower Leg GES. Am I right or wrong.
Even if you did. I do not think it would be of any value from either a safety or operational POV. The Coax Shield would provide a bond in addition to having a larger cross-sectional area of any 10 AWG copper. What is throwing me off is table 810.52
