[TowerTalk] tower grounding

[Tearlach Sinclair]

First I want to thank all of you for the info so freely dispersed on this reflector. I've learned a lot in just the month I've been getting the discussions.

Now then, I just today made a deal for my very first tower. It seems to be a bit over a Rohn 25 size but not quite a Rohn 30. It's about 60 feet in length and will be bolted to the house and set in a rebar and concrete cage footing.

My questions are these, is it possible to use the rebar cage as a part of the grounding system for this tower?  And, if so, what is the best manner of making that grounding connection?

Thanks up front for your consideration and responses.
