do that if you want BUT its a real issue, all grounds in a home MUST
BE UNIFIED, thats why the ground rods for main service, homes neutral,
telephone NID and everything else must be tied together.

lets imagine they arent, a lightining strike on something might create
a voltage potential between grounds.

I used to install satellite dishes its not a common trouble but could
create a real hazard. heck even building lightning arrestors must be
unified to everything

The bloody TV _TOWER_ is isolated, doofus...

ahh its connected to the home by the coax, do you ground the coax
properly?

besides which in a storm the antenna might come lose and hit a
electrified line. I saw a chimney mount antenna blown across a roof

Not where it is, it won't. Again, it is NOT ON THE HOUSE, got it?

The coax an the antenna are electrically isolated, else the antenna
isn't an antenna, it's a ground pole.

Give it up, you were wrong to start with and you're just getting more
and more off base.

Next you'll be telling me it's K&T wiring... :(

you are WRONG, the COAX ground is also a antenna GROUND.

GO READ THE NEC ABOUT PROPER GROUNDING OF ANTENNAS, SATELLITE DISHES
ETC!!!!!!!!!!

all grounds must be unified

the coax must be grounded right where it enters the building, and
beyond that coax outer braid is grounded to tv chassis this is done
because outer braid grounding stops interference from being picked up
on inner conductor.

now in a storm or any time a ground potential difference can exist,
where someone touching a tv can get a nasty shock.

this is why all grounds must be unified.

please would a electrician cite the NEC for this incompetent.

Taller than a worm.

If it is emitting significant RF energy near the frequencies you want
your antenna to work on, you may need to install a notch filter on the
worm.
