    Grounding antenna that is away from house

    Thanks again. I think I'm beginning to get it. The mechanics are a little daunting. The canyon is extremely rocky. There is no way to bury either the coaxial cable or a bonding wire, so both would have to be laid on the top of the ground. Not sure of the ramifications of that. Enclosing in...

    Grounding antenna that is away from house

    If I'm following you, you're saying that if a ground the antenna to earth at the top of the canyon, and use a grounding block at the house (which is about 70 feet away) that it will store voltage in the line, which could be dangerous? So are you saying I need to run a copper ground all the way...

    Grounding antenna that is away from house

    Thanks so much to all for the information. I deeply appreciate it. I'll use the voltmeter as jayn_j suggested--I'm an audio engineer so I have a little understanding of ground loops and voltage differentiation on ground wires--emphasis on the "little." Really appreciate the pic of the Coaxial...

    Grounding antenna that is away from house

    Thanks for the responses. So, I ground the antenna to a grounding stake. But what are the mechanics of grounding at the house--I mean I've looked up the way you normally ground a rooftop antenna to a house. But if I'm following you, and I'm only bringing the TV cable line down to the house, am I...

    Grounding antenna that is away from house

    Hello, I live in a Canyon. When I bought the house, there was a tv antenna mounted at the top of the canyon behind my house. It's on a 10' pole driven into the ground, attached by guy wires. The antenna is pretty much destroyed and I want to replace it with a new one, and start using it, but...
