Do I need to bond a grounding rod I installed for an antenna to my home's ground?
I am installing an antenna on my roof. I bought some coax with ground wire attached that I am going to attach to a grounding block at the coax entry point. To the grounding block I am going to attach a #6 bare copper wire to an 8ft copper clad grounding rod. Is this sufficient as is? I read conflicting information on if I need to run yet another wire from the rod to my home's main ground, which is the water pipe where it enters my home.
If this is sufficient, Ill just leave it, but if I really need to add another wire I will, but that raises some more questions. Since the main ground is almost on the opposite side of the house, I would need to round a corner by my deck, and word is, I can't go 90 deg with it. Having a big wire looping around there would be in the way... So can I bury this extra wire a couple inches and run it around my house to the main ground?
