[TowerTalk] Ground rod

[Grant Saviers]

Check out Ufer grounds.  If you insure your base rebar is well tied and 
the tower anchor bolts electrically tie to the rebar (I welded small 
rebar connections to the anchor bolts, but several good tight wire ties 
would also work) then you have an excellent start on grounding the 
tower.  Additional ground rods should be spaced away from the concrete, 
usually by the length of the ground rod.  Much is written here about how 
many and how to tie the ground rods together, search the archives.
