Thank you! One more question on grounding:
Everything I am reading says that the mast ground must be connected to a ground rod, but the coax ground can be connected to a water pipe as long as the pipe enters the ground within 5' of the connection. If I understand this right, this would allow me to send the mast ground along the roof to the end of the house where the service panel grounding rod is (which would be simple enough, even though it is a bit far), but ground the coax at the center of the house on the plumbing pipe so I don't have a 100' long coax run to the service panel and back. Is there a problem with this approach?
