Medium wave bc stations routinely rely on their radial system for lighting 
protection (among other things).  A pair of electrodes with a roughly 1/2 
inch air gap is a standard component on their towers, one side bonded to the 
hot tower; the other on the base which is bonded to 4 to 6 inch wide cu 
straps going down the exposed sides of the base pier to the counterpoise 
screen and radials.
