If the antenna is outside, the coax shield should be grounded with a grounding block that is connected to the house electrical system ground with 10 gauge copper wire for electrical safety and to reject interference. For further compliance with the electrical code (NEC), the mast should also be grounded in a similar manner to drain any buildup of static charge, but the system will not survive a direct strike.

Thanks for the reminder, when I set it up initially I grounded the antenna as well as the coax.

Will a CM 3410 suffice? Upon investigating the setup, the cable splits and goes toward the 50ft TVs and the 100ft. I think I could get away with one output, or I could eliminate the current split and use the amp as the splitter and amp. Would it be better to do that instead of splitting after the amp?

Currently

Antenna > coax > splitter (goes 100, 50 and splits at the 50 another 5ft to separate TVs
