Yes they do, and that's what I plan to do on my upcoming installation.
I'm going to bond the rebar together to a ground line going out the side
of the hole to rods in the 'traditional' triangle pattern to start the
radials.
I'm going to have another set of lines from the same rods to the legs of
the tower above the concrete with the appropriate clamps.
Hopefully I won't have a story to tell!
