Came off of a central point of the ground system then ran 3" copper ribbon
(From Georgia Copper) to a cross bar on the tower base then used two copper
palates to sandwich the assembly ...a picture is better.

Subject: [TowerTalk] ground connection at tower base
Good Morning.
I recently installed a US Tower HDX589. I also installed a number of 3/4" 10ft
ground rods. Then cad-welded #2 stranded copper wire to the rods. I am now
trying to determine the best way to connect the #2 wire to the tower base. In
past installations, I simply drilled a hole thru the tower base steel, used a
stainless bolt/nut/washer, and fastened a copper ground lug to the tower. Then
stick the ground wire into the lug and tighten it.
Before I break out the drill this weekend, does anyone have a better solution?
