[TowerTalk] Ground Rod Topic Summary

[Mark .]

<< How many ground rods should be used on a tower of 75 feet? 
....snip..73Tom >>

Hello Tom,
I have a section on grounding for lightning abatement for towers in a 
reference document that is largely culled from the Towertalk archives.

go to http://www.qsl.net/n1lo
Follow the link to the tower page and the Tower Topic summary document.
Many other topics are covered here. I hope to add some new sections soon.

The generally accepted rod scheme is 6 rods: 2 on a radial attached to each 
of the three tower legs, with the rods spaced twice their depth in the soil.

good luck,
