[TowerTalk] Tower Legs

[Steve Jones]

Warren-

The engineer at US Tower told me a Home Depot bronze ground clamp on my 
galvanized HDX-589 tower would be fine.  The clamp wraps around a tower 
brace and the #2 copper wire goes into a hole with a lock nut on the back of 
the clamp.  Copper and zinc never touch each other.

73,
