Thanks very much for the detailed answers. So i've been considering how to ground my antenna based on the info provided and i'm a little bit stumped. I would have to run my coax and copper wire around the side of the house to the front where my service panel is located (meaning under the front deck as well which is quite low to the ground in many parts so quite difficult). 1) is this safe? Seems scary to think i'd have a potentially charged copper wire running all long the side of the house, most likely touching the wood exterior where it meets the foundation all the way to the front of the house? and 2) ive attached two pictures. The first picture is the service panel on the front of the house from the outside. You'll see the box and below it there is nothing except the deck several feet below. The 2nd pic is what it looks like below the deck (directly below the panel). It would seem as though i dont have access to the grounding setup. The middle cable coming out from the deck runs approx 10 feet away from the house and disappears into the ground so i assume thats the grounding cable. From the inside i can see all the electric cables disappear into the wall right below the panel and are partially spray foamed over (the basement is only about 4 feet high and unfinished). Is this a typical way to ground a service panel? Would it make sense to lead a cooper wire from behind the house, all long the side of the house, under the front deck just to reach the visible grounding cable that is seen in Pic 2? if so, would i just wrap the copper wire to the grounding cable? Any ideas would be great. Thanks
