"The tower will be set in a concrete (block) 4`x4`x4`. Is driving a copper-clad 5/8"x8 ft. ground rod and sttaching a #6 ground wire to the tower leg sufficient?" Yes, if you have one rod and attachment run outside the tower base block for each of the tower`s legs. This has worked for me countless times with good results. Usually my ground wires were larger than #6 AWG, but I think #6 is likely large enough to work well. The tower ground must be well connected to the electrical service ground to meet code and ensure the potential difference between grounds is insignificant, even during lightning strikes.
