Yes, +1
I have proof a tower where the sections have little or no conductivity.
We did exothermic at the base but did crimp at the top and we used the
harger clamps every 3' down the tower and no longer have any issues with
the site. BTW it was 440' in height
This has been installed since 2017.

Definitely. A 2/0 or larger exothermically welded to a top mounted
ground rod to the ground system at bottom improves conducting strikes
to earth greatly. Counting on tower sections to conduct the strike to
ground is unreliable at best.

I have seen some towers that have a copper ground wire run all the way
to top of tower. Is there any real benefit in this for lightning
protection?
