I would not consider this to be an adequate lightning ground.

When I erected my tower, my PE (a ham who was recommended by TT people)
wrote:

"Each tower leg shall be bonded to one ground electrode minimum using 2/0 or
equivalent wire"
I presume he knows of what he writes. Since it's a one-time investment and I
didn't want to PO my PE (and also not pass my county's final inspection), I
just did what he wrote.
