Why not use a hose clamp with a piece of stainless shim for dissimilar metals protection? I have a bunch of these and they have held up well in the weather.

AN Wireless towers don't have round cross-section legs, but rather use flat
steel bent at a 60 degree angle for the legs. Most tower grounding
solutions that I've seen use fittings that clamp onto a round tower leg.

For those of you you have installed AN Wireless (or similar towers), how
have you attached the grounding strap or wire to the tower legs at the base?
