[TowerTalk] Tower grounds

[davidrobbins]

First of course you should note that there is no such thing as ground when
it comes to rf or lightning... that being said, all the ground conductors
must be tied together at least at the entrance to the building, this
includes power mains, phone, and cable tv.

Is there a good rule-of-thumb for how many ground rods to use for a tower,
and how deep they should be? Does the diameter of the rods make any
difference? Is it worth keeping grounds for lightning protection (tower
ground) separate from RF grounds (tie the coax shield to ground)?
