I'd have to agree. Though you won't hurt anything by adding a ground rod, it's usually less work and expense to simply run the mast grounding lead to your existing electrical service ground.

If you add a rod, be sure to 'bond' it to the existing electrical ground system with #6 AWG copper. An isolated ground rod is a potential safety hazard.
