I have a 40' tall guyed type tower against the back of my house. Attached at the top of the mast is an old UHF antenna, that is connected with 300ohm twin lead going into the house. It looks like it was installed professionally, so I assume the system is grounded, although my friend was tearing out wires in the basement, and may have taken out the ground wire. But Ive read somewhere that you should ground on the outside of the house anyways. Since the antenna mast is connected to a guyed tower w/ foundation. Does the antenna/mast need grounded?
Secondly, I added a phillips MANT940 antenna on the side of the tower about 10' down from the top of the mast. As of right now I have it connected to 5/8" coax going into the house.
I am concerned about frying my tv's connected to the antennas if lightning was to hit it, and burning my house down, haha, obviously. If the tower/foundation, isnt adequate grounding, what is a simple grounding solution for my situation.
Thanks for your help...
