Where the tower meets the ground, that is where you want to ground it. And, be sure to bond your grounds together too.

Tech 833, what do you mean by "bond your grounds together" ? Thanks.

Connect all your grounds together using the same kind of wire used to connect to the ground rods (ie- copper).
If you have 3 ground rods, there should be wires connecting all 3 together, and that way you don't get different currents on different ground points. It's also called "common point grounding". Lots of information about it online if you are curious.
