If you opt to add a ground rod, you'll need to use #6 AWG or heavier copper to bond (tie) the grounds rods together. This is to provide for the possible current that could occur during a fault other than just the antenna system... the new rod becomes a part of your power system ground.
An alternative is to run the mast ground to the existing ground rod using #10 AWG. Then, run the coax to a point close to the existing ground (10' or less as the wire runs) where you would locate the grounding block. This option avoids the cost of a new ground rod and a long run of #6.
