Thanks guys, lots of goof information.The big take away I got is to use a
stainless shim between the copper and aluminum.I imagine that it goes without
saying I'll clean the aluminum with steel wool, put some penetroxbetween the
layers. Clamp the heck out of it and the paint the area to seal it up.

I can't seem to get a good answer ( even from Alumatower ) on how to ground an
aluminum tower.
I have a T50H on an MP2. I have already installed #2 tinned copper running
out 45 ft with 3 10 ft ground rods cad welded on each leg.
But how do you actually transition from copper wire to the aluminum tower ?
Also, should the MP2 hinge be bridged with copper braid ? Once again, the
issue of the copper braid connecting to the aluminum.
tnx
