For lightning protection, is it generally considered good practice to
install heavy-gauge copper wire jumpers across each junction point between
tower sections?

My guess is that the electrical connection between one tower section and
the next might be somewhat variable, especially if the tower sections
weren't new when the tower was assembled.


If you are really serious about grounding the tower you can run copper
braided ground wire from an air terminal on top of the tower to a ground
system below but this is not normally done on amateur towers.
