Connie, did the tower have ground rods also at its base?  That is 
standard, to ground the tower with its own ground rods, but also Bond 
the tower to the station ground.  See the White papers on grounding and 
bonding.  The concept is to have everything rise and fall at the same 
voltage, without a difference of potential between station and tower 
base.  Again, this required by the standard Electrical Code.  Insurance 
coverage could be denied if the wiring is not to code.
