[TowerTalk] Ground Rods

[GALE STEWARD]

Makes me wonder how the ground systems are installed
on the microwave towers, and even the Forest Service
fire towers. The ones I've seen all seem to be high on
a very rocky ridge or mountain top. I'm sure they take
a lot of lightning hits. Anyone have any info?
