i used 3/8 rebar (bassically a 3x3x3 ft cage) in all 3 of my tower bases 
and i also added coarse fiber fill..........i used a 10' section as my bottom 
and brazed #4 solid copper on the horizontal supports (that are below the 
surface) to the rebar cage. i got the idea from the internet when i was 
researching grounding for the towers. it is called a Ufer ground and i have not 
been following this discussion lately so if it has already been covered, 
please excuse my ignorance.  the ufer ground is only supplimental to external 
grounding of the tower legs.......i figure the more grounding i can get the 
better off i am........just my 2 cents.
