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!
What if the antenna is insulated form the mast? What about the coax?
