Is your tower made from aluminum angle stock?
If so I'd terminate the ground wire with a lug and either attach it to
available tower hardware at the base, or use what is known in the tower
industry as an "angle adapter", which is basically a stainless steel
beam clamp, attached to a leg. Either way, use some Noalox or similar
under the lug.

I can't seem to get a good answer ( even from Alumatower ) on how to ground an
aluminum tower.
I have a T50H on an MP2. I have already installed #2 tinned copper running
out 45 ft with 3 10 ft ground rods cad welded on each leg.
But how do you actually transition from copper wire to the aluminum tower ?
Also, should the MP2 hinge be bridged with copper braid ? Once again, the
issue of the copper braid connecting to the aluminum.
