Grounding, Lightning Protection and Surge Protection
The traditional approach to lightning protection on towers is to have a lightning rod on the top of the tower and a dedicated down conductor comprised of bare cable or tape that is installed on the tower

Basics of Lightning Protection for Communication Towers
One can lengthen the rod, increase the diameter of the rod, add more rods, bond to structural steel or other buried metal, or use chemical rods. Chemical rods increase the conductivity of the soil around

Grounding and Lightning Protection for Radio Installations: Complete
A good rule: space rods at least twice their length apart (so, 16 feet for an 8-foot rod), and connect them with heavy copper wire or strap. This setup spreads out the grounding and makes it
