On the tower should I ground each section to each other?

Should I also ground the tower right at the base?

I was going to run a ground wire from the antenna base to the tower base and ground it there,or is it enough that the I-Max base is attatched to the tower by the mounting hardware (U Bolts)?

My coax is going to the other end of the house for entry, this is where I am going to mount the polyphaser and ground it for entry into the house, is this right?

I run a wire from the base of the Imax down to the ground rod and a mast clamp on the base of one tower leg with a wire running off it to the ground rod too..
entry point of the house is where the polyphaser/s should go and grounded to another ground rod...
If you need Ground Rods I have a few you can have.

Till next time

I've got four already, plus the ones that are in the ground already.
