Same approach here, without the tar. On my Rohn 45 I replaced the
smaller bolts at the bottom with stainless and used double
nuts/washers to attach the copper ground wiring. Of course, it seldom
rains here and the low humidity helps in the corrosion department.

Purists will refer to the galvanic tables and go from there, but this
works for me.

Maybe Barry Ornitz will answer this for you. If not Google him.

I think Barry got fed up reading some of this junk. I haven't seen a post
from him in quite a long time.

Me neither. I think you're probably correct.
