I use a zinc ground clamp on each tower leg to attach the tinned #4 solid
copper ground wires.

Tower leg ground clamps all have stainless steel between the tower and the
copper strap.

Seems like the lower conductivity of stainless could be a huge issue during
a lightning event. Yet, I haven't heard of this being an issue.
