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,
