I just recently put up a 30ft mast of metal conduit with a j-pole antenna. The antenna is going to be used for scanning only.
I have the mast attached via strong hose clamps to an OLD 5' pole that was concreted in and used for a direcway installation. Right next to it is a ground rod for the OLD installation, as well as the copper wire.
We do get lightning around here, and I'd sleep much better knowing its properly grounded. I have a simple "copper wire touching mast - wire touching ground rod" setup right now, but not sure thats good enough.
I'm also aware I need to ground the coax.
Any tips? advice?
