[TowerTalk] Buried section base...and lightning protection.

[Douglas Ruz (CO8DM)]

Hi,

I am almost ready to build a Buried section base for a 25G tower.

The hole is 2 x 2 ft and almost 3 ft deep...is it ok for a guyed tower?...it is almost half cubic yard...and about 2000 pounds of concrete...no steel bars inside.

Any tips are welcome.

I need some ideas about the lightning protection...How can i do a good connection to the tower legs to the ground rod ?...

Thanks,

73....Douglas, CO8DM
