[TowerTalk] Fwd: Grounding connection to tower legs

John,

See my message from a few days ago:

You can use these same pipe clamps with a 1/4-inch SS stud for attaching your copper strap.  Place a 1/4 inch hole in the strap's center then use a SS fender washer on each side of the strap and it will be very secure.  Even better, tandem mount two of them (one above the other) on the same tower leg so there's 6-10 inches distance between the mounting bolts.  That way, there's no chance that the strap can catch wind and rotate on the bolt.
