How do I determine the diameter mast that I need? The specs in the listing for the antenna doesn't seem to indicate that.
... I don't understand DX, however. Where can I find more information about that?
Is that medium wave radio, like AM?
...
How about grounding? How do I account for that?
Thanks,

The description for the product you linked to includes, " (Mast not Included)". The common mast diameter for consumer grade OTA antennas is 1.25" - O.D. All of the antennas mentioned up to this point will fit that size mast.
DX in this context refers to reception of distant TV signals. For some, it's a hobby like HAM radio. For others, it's their only hope for OTA reception. It includes dealing with weak signals, interference and in many cases, an understanding of tropospheric radio propagation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_and_FM_DX
