Default Antenna Grounding

Sound advice except for the connecting conductor needs to be the same size
as the grounding electrode for the service. 200 amp is #4.


The grounding wire for a TV antenna needs to be no smaller than #10 copper
{810.21(H)}. The bonding jumper between the ground rod and the electric
service can be no smaller than #6 copper {810.21(J)}. However, I do concur,
as many electrical contractors will carry a spool of #4 bare and use it
exclusively, regardless. Simply because it does't need protection like
smaller wires do and will cover any situation under 200 amps.
