Hello Ron:
I use stainless steel hose clamps to bond my shunt feed to my tower. I sand
the galvanize lightly and put stainless-steel between the copper and the
galvanize. Also everything gets a good coat of anti-corrosion goo. The
galvanic action between copper and galvanize WILL eat away the galvanize !!!
Put a copper connector on a galvanize tower, wait a year, take it off and
you will find corrosion underneath. Slip a piece of stainless between and
you won't find corrosion.
I use a piece of strap from a hose clamp. You can buy a modified clamp for
this purpose from Poly-Phaser Corp.
