The tower should still be grounded, the concrete has nothing to do with it.

Heat causes concrete to explode. That is why no one welds dirrectly on the
floor, but uses a brick or wood. Lightning causes lots of heat.

On the subject of lightening grounding... I was out at a guy's tower
today (he has three of them, actually) and I could not discern any form
of grounding at all -- even if the ground rod is buried, I expected to see
a strap running from the metal tower legs to somewhere. But, nothing
at all. There was a ground rod a few feet away, but it was only connected
to the pass through into his shack as if only grounding the coax as it
entered the building. I expected to see something from the tower
base to somewhere...
Is this typical?? //////////// K8JHR ///////////////
