I wanted to ask if its ok to ground your mast and rg6 to the exterior of the electic utility box instead of using the same grounding rod & clamp as the electrical panels ground wire? Im planning to use 2 clamps like the one below to the exterior of my meter box. I see cable and satellite companies use this grounding method. Would this put me in compliance with NEC code?
Also, I know solid core #10 is better than stranded but home depot here only has stranded and had to use that. Is stranded adequate?
Im using a grounding clamp (similar to the one by groundurmast's name) attached to the mast above where the EMT conduit (mast) comes out above the roof instead of at the bottom (below roof). Is that ok or is there reason it has to be at the bottom? I am asuming any energy captured would be best to be kept from going through the roof material.
Heres a pic of my setup in case it aids answering any of the questions.
