Thanks No Static. Two questions.
On the Amp, it seems pretty lousy quality of plastic. The bottom is not sealed in any manner, so is the PC board in there potted in epoxy or something? Just figure that moisture would certainly corrode the things inside over time and it would fail. Should I seal the bottom with silicone or something??
On grounding the mast and coaxial........ My plan is to use #8 wire for this purpose.
Does the #8 AWG need to be solid or stranded? Copper or is aluminum OK too?
I bring coaxial in via pitch pocket directly through roof to minimize the cable run length so the grounding block is right at base of the tripod. Can the same ground wire (whatever it is) run through the hole in ground block and attach to the mast? Same wire for both purposes? This runs down roof to an 8' ground rod already installed for the satellite dish.
Thanks !!
