The ARRL Amateur Radio Handbook, the ARRL Antenna Book and the ARRL VHF
Manual have a plethora of articles and many pages devoted to this very
subject.. The books have been around for years so any edition from any
available year will suffice. Check them out at your local public library
and continue to be concerned about how to do the job correctly for fire and
safety reasons as well as proper efficient operation of your equipment and
antennas..

I am so confused about how to properly ground a system. I will have a
two meter and a 440 on the roof of my house. I will run the coax down
to my sofit vents or whatever they are called and run the coax inside
the vents to my shack. Behind the wall where my rquipment will be is a
storage space that I can acess. (This is a finished attic). I will be
using a mobile radio that has two antenna outputs, one for 2 meter and
one for 440.

How do I ground the radio and does it need it? Should the coax itself
be grounded and how? Do I have to purchase one of those surge things
that screws into the coax?

Any advice is appreciated!
