do that if you want BUT its a real issue, all grounds in a home MUST
BE UNIFIED, thats why the ground rods for main service, homes neutral,
telephone NID and everything else must be tied together.
The bloody TV _TOWER_ is isolated, doofus...

ahh its connected to the home by the coax, do you ground the coax
properly?
besides which in a storm the antenna might come lose and hit a
electrified line. I saw a chimney mount antenna blown across a roof

Not where it is, it won't. Again, it is NOT ON THE HOUSE, got it?

The coax an the antenna are electrically isolated, else the antenna
isn't an antenna, it's a ground pole.

Give it up, you were wrong to start with and you're just getting more
and more off base.

Next you'll be telling me it's K&T wiring...

you are WRONG, the COAX ground is also a antenna GROUND.

....

I have not said one thing about the stinkin' coax except that there is a
lightning arrestor installed. Everything else is your made up "what can
I do to show I'm so smart and this is unsafe?" as is your typical post.

You started off on the BS about $2000 for a OTA antenna and not used
because "aren't cost-effective". I simply pointed out that is not so.

Everything past that from your side is simply something you've made up.
