I'm putting up a new 60ft self-supporting Trylon. I'm wondering how
much and what type of grounding needs to be done. Any advice and
suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I bought three grounding kits with the tower, one for each leg. I plan to tie the three rods together using some #4 solid copper. I plan to tie the electrical grounds for each of the three buildings near the tower into this loop. Each building has it's own breaker box and ground rod, and all three connect back to the same distribution panel. I also have a lightning rod to go on top the tower, and plan to run a separate copper wire down the tower to the grounding loop at the bottom. I've been reading the archives for some time now. I was looking at Roger Halstead's site (linked in a recent post) and all the work he did with his towers. I was just wondering what else I should plan on doing. We have the rebar in, and I hope to be pouring concrete next Friday. Thanks & 73, Bill - KD7ZAH _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
