[TowerTalk] Grounding an Alumatower

[Mark Foltarz]

 Thanks guys,  lots of goof information.The big take away I  got is to use a stainless shim between the copper and aluminum.I imagine that it goes without saying I'll clean the aluminum with steel wool,  put some penetroxbetween the layers.  Clamp the heck out of it and the paint the area to seal it up.

 I can't seem to get a good answer ( even from Alumatower ) on how to ground an aluminum tower.
I have a T50H on an MP2.  I have already installed  #2  tinned copper running out 45 ft with 3 10 ft ground rods cad welded on each leg.
But how do you actually transition from copper wire  to  the aluminum  tower ? 
Also, should the MP2 hinge  be bridged with copper braid ? Once again, the issue of the copper braid connecting to the aluminum.

tnx
