Chimney installation?

Reading some older threads, chimney instllation is suggested instead of drilling through the roof.

Here's my chimney -



Any comments? Looks like I could add a mast and easily get above the roof peak. My main question is - where do I run the wires, across the roof or down? I understood that going through the roof with the wire(s) would be bad, since it penetrates the shingles.

Re the grounding, when an electrician ran the service to my separate garage, he buried two ground rods in the service trench rather than driving them into the ground. The ground is very rocky here, and it's unlikely that I would be able to drive a rod into the ground fully. Maybe I could follow his example?

And here's my radar plot, if it's relevant - http://forum.tvfool.com/attachment.p...1&d=1397656293
