The UFER ground IS the building ground. You wouldn't generally see a 
conventional ground stake tied to a UFER ground (if only because the UFER 
is a better ground.. lots of contact area, low impedance, etc.)

One could use a UFER ground at the tower and at the shack, and tie them 
together per the NEC...
