I would be sure to run the ground the coax at the entry to the house
whether it is in the attic or somewhere else. The other issue is I always
disconnect the cables coming into the house at the wall entry even though they
are grounded to the telco etc., tough to so in the attic.

through an attic for the length of a house? My new tower is located at the
opposite end of the house from the shack and I'd prefer to go the more
direct route through the attic. That would save me 25 feet or cable and
would look neater. But if there are issues of safety, they'll take
priority.
