That's a mistake.  Keep the grounding system completely separate from 
teh neutral except for one bonding connection at the service panel.

AND!...the grounding system at the tower needs to be bonded to the
grounding system at the house. Preferably with a bare copper wire that's
buried directly, *NOT* in conduit. Multiple grounding points in a single
system are fine, so long as they're all bonded together. Is this a guyed
tower? You should have a ground rod on each guy wire anchor, then all
bonded together, and bonded back to the house ground.
