I examined the sattellite installer's handiwork because I was curious what he ended up doing. I didn't go up to the dish itself but I followed his coax run, and he had it going to a grounding block on one of my backyard fence posts and then grounding wire running approximately one foot to a grounding strap on my well pump. As I mentioned, my house has no central ground. All electrical implements that I can see have been grounded to pipes attached to our well near the pump house. Since they are all connected via cold water pipes, did his method satisfy the bonding requirement? I did not see a seperate wire so I'm assuming he did not utilize a rod up by the dish itself. Can the coax accomplish the joint task of carrying signal as well as grounding the mast?
