In the meantime, I'm about to order my parts; I think I'm settled on the ANT-751. I have a question about lightning protecting, though. I'm going to use the antenna's included j-mount and mount it to an eave. I plan to use a grounding block, ground wire and 8 foot ground rod for lightning protection. However, on some sites related to antenna installation, I've seen mention of using a lightning arrester in addition to the ground wire - is this necessary? I did some browsing and found a wide variety of arrester types and prices, but couldn't find any definitive information about whether I need one or what kind to buy if I do.
