No. The tower will be grounded by a copper straps, one from each leg,
running out at least 50 feet (probably closer to 75 feet) with 8 foot
ground rods spaced every 16 feet along them. As I understand it, the guy
wires should also be grounded to help protect turnbuckles, anchor, etc.
I just haven't found any specifics on this part.
