I attached a 10" wide copper strap -
really roof flashing - to my tower.  I 
had alread mounted a piece aluminum 
angle stock to the bottom of the tower
to hold a weatherproof enclosure.  I 
clamped the flashing to the angle
stock with another piece of angle 
stock.  The flashing runs straight down
to the ground, and out about 10 feet
in a ditch.

The flashing was cheap at a junkyard.
