YOu guys have been a world of help and I apprecieat all your
suggestions. Id just like a clarification. I was planning on using
black coated #6 wire running from the antenna and mask to the
grounding rod (for astetic reasons) but was told that a strike might
cause the black coating to catch fire. So my question(s) is, if I run
a bare copper wire and plastic strap it to the the rg6 coming down the
side of the houes:

1) if there is a strike,will it ment the RG6 covering
and
2) if the bare copper wire is touching my gutter,facia and siding wont
that stuff catch fire as well?

How would you run the wires from the antenna to the ground?

Thanks agin
John
