I just installed a Universal free standing aluminum tower. 
  I was told by  a local Ham , that I should put in at least 3 8ft ground rods 
about 3 ft from the tower bottom .
  If I do that the wires will come off at a right angle, from the tower bottom 
to the grounding rods, is that acceptable?
  The reason I ask the question is because, Lighting usually travels in a 
straight path !
  Any comments would be appreciated.
