Steve,

This is a more practical than optimal suggestion, but it will work in the absence of the perfect parts.

Use a piece of steel guy cable to go between the guy and a copper plate attached to the copper ground rod. That will confine the galvanic damage to easily replaceable components.

Thanks for your indulgence. I am in the process of trying to ground my
3/16" steel guys. I have a rod in the ground and #4 copper wire. I
have a temporary lash-up using a cable clamp. However, I am warned that
the copper wire will cause the galvanized guy to rust, i.e., dissimilar
metals.

Where do I find the clamps that keep the copper and the steel
apart?????? I have seen them in the Rohn catalog but I can't locate
any??????

Thanks for your patience.

Steve, N4JQQ
