Joseph is right. You do NOT want to ground a lightning strike thru
your house. Hammer in a copper rod as deep as you can and as near
your mast as possible. Keep this ground away from your house
wiring. Pj


I'll agree that the lightning should be kept routed outside the house
if possible, however, not bonding the antenna ground rod to the
electric power grounding system is a big mistake.



But not as big as just bonding it to a water pipe!
