A good site for info is:

http://www.polyphaser.com/ppc_ptd_home.aspx

As you will discover, the subject of lightning protection is not
as simple as it first seems. There is a lot of bad info on the web
mainly from well meaning folks who only know about powerline
grounding. A good powerline ground (60 Hz) is usually not a good
lightning protection ground but a good RF ground (radials) is
usually good for both. Also, proper bonding is as important as the
ground system.
