I am in the process of pounding in 
grounding rods between the breaker box, 
the roof mounted antenna ground wire and 
the coax entrance. I will be bonding all 
together.

The choice of wire I'm not sure about. #4 
or # 6, solid or stranded. I'll be using 
about 100' of it. It seems like the 
thicker, the better but maybe #6 is fine? 
I have no idea about stranded or solid, 
seems like for this, solid would have 
greater mass & be better? I have no idea. 

#6 is a pick-up, #4 is an order.

The remote antenna is 370' away so I won't 
be running it to there.

Thoughts?

73,
