Ya, I finally understood the diagram. I have to calculate my "w", "x",
and "d" to figure the base. http://www.wb0w.com/shelby/BXCBS1.htm

I beleive the recommendations for grounding are to use solid wire, not
stranded. If you can, use #2 or larger. The goal with grounding, if
it is for lightning protection, is to get the lowest impedance possible
to ground. Spread the ground rods out as much as you can. Connect
them each to the tower AND to each other. Pick a point in that that is
your ground point and make sure everything connects to that one point.

Not completely about grounding, but lots of helpful info.

Anyone have any suggestions
