Uhh, just weighing the pros and cons. Reading further I don't think the second grounding rod is a viable option short of connecting that second rod to the house's main ground.
Is this an alternative? The distance from the antenna mast to the house ground is roughly 100 feet. That implies 200 feet of solid copper core #10 wire assuming two separate runs for coax and mast.
Can I... ground the antenna via a ground included coax wire run to a cold water pipe and do one run of #10 copper core wire to the house ground?
I would like to tackle this today and am hoping I get a prompt response here. Thanks so much for the expertise here.
