GroundUrMast,

I expect to the install the antenna in the next few days. I will mount the mast to my stucco chimney. I have read much already about grounding the mast and coax without a clear vision of how solve my mast grounding issue. My challenge is that my antenna installation point is on the opposite corner of the house as my electrical box (which is where I suspect the electrical service ground is).

I have found the list of grounding possibilities:
1. the building or structure ground electrode system as cover by 250.50
2. The grounded interior metal water pipe system within 5 feet of point of entrance to building
3.the power service accessible means external to the building
4.the metalic power service raceway
5.the service entrance encolsure
or
6.the grounding electrode conductor or the ground conductor metal enclosures.

Of the above list, only #s 1 and 6 are options but I would have to navigate half of the perimeter of my house to do so. Is there an option not listed above that I could consider? Could you please direct me to some recommended reading for the purposes of antenna mast grounding?
