I think FEMA has come up with a spec too.  Seems it was like 3 legs of 20 feet
of thick copper spaced at 15 degrees of seperation and joined at the end where
you attach your ground wire ... A few inches below the ground.

I don't know of a publication but I am told the Local police comm center has
this setup .... took a direct HIT from lightening and there commercial VHF/UHF
stuff kept working.
