Grounding an antenna system is a fairly simple and inexpensive part of the installation in most cases.

Two steps...

1.) Connect a #10 AWG (or heavier) copper wire to the mast and your electrical service ground rod. Insulated or bare, your choice.

2.) Run the coax from the antenna to a location close to the electrical service ground rod. Install a coax grounding block and connect it to the electrical service ground rod with #10 AWG copper wire. The distance between the ground block and rod should be under 10'.
