[TowerTalk] Grounding an Alumatower

[Steve Maki]

Is your tower made from aluminum angle stock?

If so I'd terminate the ground wire with a lug and either attach it to 
available tower hardware at the base, or use what is known in the tower 
industry as an "angle adapter", which is basically a stainless steel 
beam clamp, attached to a leg. Either way, use some Noalox or similar 
under the lug.
