Steve is right, it's a non-issue. Make sure your coax shields are bonded to
ground at the top and bottom of the tower, and where the cables enter the
house. Bond tower to ground also at the bottom.

Ideas or what has others done?
Well, the whole tower is electrically connected by the
raising/lowering cables so I would say you don't have to do anything.
So how would you propose bonding the sections when it's extended? IOW
I think it's a non-issue.
