Default Grounding Antenna Question


"Humbled Survivor"

Can I ground out my outdoor FM antenna from the pole?


** Yep.

The pole needs to be linked to metal plumbing with a heavy gauge copper
wire.


Does the negative of the coaxial cable have to be grounded?



** If it is isolated by a "balun", then yep - it a good idea too.


Which method is best for preventing lightening strikes?



** Can I suggest you make your peace with god right now ??
