R56 wants all radio head equipment grounded to Tower Leg.. NOT the mount
or a separate bus to the ground.
The Flower thingys at the top of a 200' tower works great. Make sure
tower is grounded and bonds to Main Earth Ground.Examples are ground
rings or
line with rods twice the length spacing from main earth to structure.

That's not really possible in this case. What do you think about
bonding equipment to the tower vs a separate ground wire? I certainly
don't want to make the equipment more of a target.

I am a firm believer in putting lightning rod at highest point of
tower with direct cable run to buried ring or rod next to it. Has
worked well in our area.

Wanted to get some opinions on grounding equipment at a tower
site (on the tower). The tower and shelter are all properly
grounded, it's a solid-steel leg tower. Right now I'm
grounded via clamps to the tower. My question is would it be
better/worse/the same to run a copper ground cable up to the
equipment? It's going to end up being bonded to the same
ground at the base, so I was thinking it wouldn't make a huge
difference but wanted to see what others' experience was with
this.
