Greetings everyone! I have a question regarding lightning protection and proper grounding techniques - perhaps someone can help me?

Recently, during a couple of wireless rooftop installations, a question came up regarding best practices for proper lightning protection.

The question is regarding the connection of the ground wire (such as #10 stranded copper) and the grounding lug or block: Is there any value or technical reason for soldering (tinning?) the wire prior to clamping it down in the grounding lug/block? Is there any NEC guidance regarding this practice or some other source that can speak authoritatively on this?

I searched on polyphaser.com for references to soldering the grounding wires prior to the physical connection, but couldn't find anything.

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
