I just installed a Universal free standing aluminum tower.
I was told by a local Ham , that I should put in at least 3 8ft ground rods about 3 ft from the tower bottom .
If I do that the wires will come off at a right angle, from the tower bottom to the grounding rods, is that acceptable?
The reason I ask the question is because, Lighting usually travels in a straight path !
Any comments would be appreciated.
