Lightning Protection and Grounding Solutions for Communication Sites by Ken A. Rand is a highly regarded, practical guide for anyone responsible for the reliability and safety of radio, telecommunications, or broadcast infrastructure. This copy is in like new condition, with clean pages, tight binding, and no marks, making it ideal for collectors, engineers, and field technicians who value a pristine reference.

Rand’s book provides a clear, systems‑based approach to lightning protection, grounding, and surge control. It explains how lightning energy behaves, how it couples into towers and equipment, and why proper bonding and low‑impedance grounding are essential for preventing equipment damage. The text covers soil resistivity, ground‑ring and radial systems, tower bonding, coaxial surge protection, AC mains protection, and the vulnerabilities introduced by control and data lines. It is widely used by site managers, RF engineers, emergency‑communications teams, and amateur radio operators seeking reliable, field‑tested solutions.

This title is out of print and increasingly difficult to find in excellent condition. It remains a trusted reference for designing, upgrading, or troubleshooting communication sites in lightning‑prone regions.
