A rule of thumb for designing vertical broadcast antennas is that the
there is little benefit in having a counterpose whose RADIUS is equal to
the height of the antenna.  I can't see why this shouldn't be at least
as applicable to TC's.  A good solid ground to "ground" is of course an
important safety factor.
