Reading through some of the comments here recently have me trying to recall
some of the comments I have read over the years. I seem to recall several that
spoke to using 2 or 3 ground rods on a tower which might not be a bad idea. I
should think one of the reasons would be to keep the discharge energy from
making steam within the concrete base and that explosive burst of steam,
producing a lot of cracking within the block and with that reducing it's
ability as a solid base. I have no research to support this but offer it only
as a thought. For myself if I hear thunder I disconnect antenna and power
cables. After that I keep my fingers crossed as I think lightning will do what
ever it bloody well wishes.
