Default coax grounding

Mine is to a 4' into the ground metal rod and a stranded green wire
to the rod from the shield mounting clamp.
Putting the ground to the small box, the high voltage could jump in
the box to the power legs and into the house..... Oh not again....

Best into the ground. Copper coated steel rod. Hardware store,
electrical supply, Lowes, Home Depot, etc.

My antenna, rotator and camera cables come in through conduit to a box
I can unplug them from when a storm is due.
