Do I need to run another ground for the Satellite antenna if I am mounting the sat antenna to a pole that is already grounded, i.e. OTA antenna mast?
lownote2 said:Be a little bit more specific. If you're moving the dish then you should have cable running into a ground block along with a ground from the mast to the ground block and then from the ground block to the ground source.
Typically rg6 with a 17 gauge attached to the mast both going to a ground block and a 10 gauge copper wire from the ground block to the ground source
This is a new install. Have never had the dish installed on the ota antenna mast. The antenna mast's coax does run through a ground block and the mast is grounded. I am attaching the sat dish via u bolts and plan on using another ground block for the sat coax. The current ota ground block will be next to the new coax ground block so can I just run a small 17 gauge ground to the old ground block?
