[TowerTalk] Cutting Stainless Steel Sheet

[Jim Nail]

Use stainless steel hose clamps that completely isolate the copper ground wire from the tower leg.  I don't have pics but the idea is for the 4ga copper wire to never come in contact with the tower directly. The clamps sandwich the wire and isolate it from the tower. Jim WA2MBP.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Cutting Stainless Steel Sheet

I am installing my tower grounding system. I intend to clamp copper strip to 
the galvanized tower legs ogf my Rohn 45. I understand that there could be 
an issue with dissimilar metals. I see that heir is a special clamp 
available.

I am thinking that I could get some stainless steel strip and make a similar 
item using the many clamps that I have in my garage. I see that sheets of 
stainless steel are available on the web. Is there any problem cutting 
stainless steel with tin snips or is it too hard to be easily cut?  24GA 
T304 seems good for this job
