It sounds like you're on track. Just beware of the danger of two or more isolated ground systems on the premise. If you ground something to an isolated rod, it's possible for dangerous voltages to develop between the isolated object and objects connected to the other ground system. If you have added a ground rod anywhere on your property, it needs to be bonded to the existing grounding system. Where I live, the minimum size cable used for bonding is #6 copper.
Mast ground in my area is done with a minimum of #10 copper and coax ground block connections need at least #14 copper.
Investing a beer or two with a local, experienced electrician may produce clear answers to your specific questions, that's beer well spent.
