[TowerTalk] Grounding question...

[K7LXC at aol.com]

>  I will be pouring concrete soon...  How does one get  a ground to the
tower base, and not mess with the galvanizing of the  tower?  I would
like to not scrape off the galvanizing, but I also want  the tower
grounded...
 
    Don't mess with the galvanizing. I assume you're  talking about the 
tower above the pad. To lessen the chance for galvanic  problems, use a 
stainless steel sheet or washers between your copper  grounding stuff and the 
galvanized tower. Polyphaser makes a couple for  round-legged towers.
