Another TV antenna question
I've got a standard aluminum TV antenna, mounted about 10 ft from the house
and 7 ft off the ground (it works fine that way). It's definitely not the highest thing around. Do I need to worry about grounding the thing? I can easily mount the antenna on a wooden fence post instead of a metal post, and therefore cut down on metal exposure - if that would help any. The problem is, the cable inputs are about 70 feet from the power system ground, so it's going be a hassle and some cost in doing the job right. I was hoping to give it its own ground rod and call it good, but I guess you're supposed to then wire that rod to the power system rod, so I'm back to stringing expensive thick wire all around my patio, etc. Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks |
