[TowerTalk] Length of Mast

My 40' tower will have a 12 foot mast. I've heard it's a good idea to fasten
a sharp-pointed rod at the top of the mast... supposedly to reduce the risk
of a lightning strike....like the lightning rods I see on barns.  If it's
true, does it really help a lot?  (I don't notice a lot of other hams doing
it, so I'm wondering)
